The Grey Room (Classic Reprint)

The Grey Room (Classic Reprint) Synopsis

Excerpt from The Grey Room

Now, Sir Walter Lennox, fifth baronet, had grown Old, and his invincible kindness of heart, his archaic principles, his great wealth, and the limited experiences Of reality, for which such wealth was responsible, left him a popular and respected man. Yet he aroused much exaspera tion in local landowners from his generosity and scorn Of all economic principles; and while his tenants held him the very exemplar of a landlord, and his servants worshipped him for the best pos sible reasons, his friends, weary of remonstrance, were forced to forgive his bad precedents and a mistaken liberality quite beyond the power Of the average unfortunate who lives by his land. But he managed his great manor in his own lavish way, and marvelled that other men declared difii culties with problems he so readily solved.
