It is now nearly six years since Robert Gregory died, and I must\u003cbr\u003econtent myself with a mere sketch of what has taken place in that time;\u003cbr\u003efor this my history has already spun out to a most unreasonable length,\u003cbr\u003emany times surpassing the limits I proposed to myself when I first sat\u003cbr\u003edown with the intention of writing it. But my pen has run on and on, as\u003cbr\u003eI recalled all the past events of my life; and I feel every day, when I\u003cbr\u003esee the mass of manuscript which has accumulated in my drawer--for my\u003cbr\u003edesk has long since been too small to contain its growing bulk--that the\u003cbr\u003echances that any one will ever take the trouble to read it through, are\u003cbr\u003egrowing fainter and fainter every day.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHowever, should it be so, my task has served its purpose. It has, by\u003cbr\u003echaining my attention to the period of which I have been writing, saved\u003cbr\u003eme from many an hour of sorrowful thought, and has served as a break to\u003cbr\u003ethe monotony of many a weary day. It has, too, often served as an excuse\u003cbr\u003efor me to seclude myself in my own room, when my spirits have felt\u003cbr\u003eunequal to take part in the constant flow of tittle-tattle and harmless\u003cbr\u003egossip, which form the staple of the conversation of those with whom my\u003cbr\u003elife is now cast, and is likely, I hope, to remain to the end.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter I came back from our three months' trip on the continent, with my\u003cbr\u003ehealth greatly restored, my spirits rose proportionately; and as I had\u003cbr\u003enothing to throw me back again into my old state, with the exception of\u003cbr\u003ethe shock I received at the news of Angela Harmer's death, I really\u003cbr\u003ebegan to look at things in a more hopeful way, and to think that the\u003cbr\u003eeight years--no, the seven years and a half--I was getting very\u003cbr\u003eparticular as to dates--which were to elapse before Percy started on his\u003cbr\u003ereturn from India, were not such a hopelessly long time to look forward\u003cbr\u003eto after all.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47082350117104,"sku":"2940013225121","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013225121_p0.jpg?v=1763589735","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013225121","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
