Opis: The Story of My Life, Vol. 2 (Classic Reprint) - Hare Augustus J. C.

Excerpt from The Story of My Life, Vol. 2

"Ad ogni uccello suo nido par bello." - Italian Proverb.

"O my life! have we not had seasons
That only said, Live and rejoice
That asked not for causes or reasons,
But made us all feeling and voice." - Lowell.

On our arrival in England, we were delighted with our little Holmhurst, which we arranged to be as much like Lime as possible, while many of the plants and shrubs we had brought with us, were, in the garden, a perpetual reminder of our old home. To my mother, however, our return was greatly clouded by the loss of her only brother, my Uncle Penrhyn, who died at Sheen while we were at Mentone, passing away most peacefully, surrounded by his family. This uncle is one of the few figures connected with my childhood with whom I have no associations but those of unvarying kindness, and in later years we had been brought nearer to him in our long winter visits at Sheen, and we missed him greatly.

My Handbook (nominally Murray's) of Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Berkshire had been published during our winter absence: my little book "A Winter at Mentone" appeared soon after our return.
