Sinopsis

Excerpt from What I Remember, Vol. 1 of 3

I may tell the reader, if he cares to hear it, the story of my second life. But the Public has seemed to doubt whether it would live ten years - or at all events, more reasonably, whether my public - the public which has indulgently received the two volumes of old man's chatter which I have given it - would survive ten years. For, by a tolerably general consensus of its accredited organs, it has said, No! Not ten years hence! Now! And where is the scribbler, young or old, who ever failed to respond to such a call 9 So here I am antedating the performance of my promise by eight years!

Excerpt from What I Remember, Vol. 1 of 3

But, as I wrote some two years ago, in the last pages of the volumes I then published, in truth it was very far otherwise. I was fifty-five; but I was in good health, young for my years, strong and vigorous in constitution; and before a year had passed, it began to seem to me that a future, and life and its prospects, might open to me afresh that the curtain might be dropped on the drama that was passed, and a new phase of life begun. I had had, and vividly enjoyed, an entire life, as it is meted out to many, perhaps I may say to most, men. But I felt myself ready for another! And - thanks also this time to a woman - I have had another, in no wise less happy, in some respects, as less chequered by sorrows, more happy than the first! I am in better health too, having outgrown apparently several of the maladies to which young people are subject. Of this second life I am not now going to tell my readers anything.
