THE SPEAKING OF THE WORD EPILOGUE OF THE PRESSMANExcerpt:ITHE MAN WITH THE GREEN UMBRELLA The new Governor was Lord Tallboys, commonly called Top-hat Tallboys, because of his attachment to that uncanny erection, which he continued to carry balanced on his head as calmly among the palm-trees of Egypt as among the lamp-posts of Westminster. Certainly he carried it calmly enough in lands where few crowns were safe from toppling. The district he had come out to govern may here be described, with diplomatic vagueness, as a strip on the edge of Egypt and called for our convenience Polybia. It is an old story now; but one which many people had reason to remember for many years, and at the time it was an imperial event. One Governor was killed, another Governor was nearly killed, but in this story we are concerned only with one catastrophe, and that was rather a personal and even private catastrophe.Top-hat Tallboys was a bachelor and yet he brought a family with him. He had a nephew and two nieces of whom one, as it happened, had married the Deputy Governor of Polybia, the man who had been called to rule during the interregnum after the murder of the previous ruler. The other niece was unmarried; her name was Barbara Traill, and she may well be the first figure to cross the stage of this story.More Reading:Other Books by G K Chesterton by ADB Publishing(The Original) As I Was Saying (The Original) Four Faultless Felons (This Book)(The Original) Tales of the Long Bow(The Original) The Club of Queer Trades(The Original) The Everlasting Man(The Original) The Man Who Knew Too Much(The Original) The Man Who Was Thursday(The Original) The Napoleon of Notting Hill(The Original) The Paradoxes of Mr Pond(The Original) The Poet and The Lunatics Episodes in the Life of Gabriel Gale (1929)(The Original) The Return of Don Quixote(The Original) The Sword of Wood (1928)(The Original) The Trees of PrideBIOGRAPHIES:(The Original) Charles Dickens(The Original) George Bernard Shaw(The Original) Leo Tolstoy(The Original) Lord Kitchener (1917)(The Original) Milton Man and Poet(The Original) Robert Browning(The Original) Robert Louis Stevenson(The Original) St Francis of Assisi(The Original) St. Thomas Aquinas(The Original) William CobbettWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
