{"product_id":"2940013689619","title":"The Missing Angel","description":"To-know all is to forgive all. So, therefore, if you would censure\u003cbr\u003eTydvil Jones because of what happened when he made the attempt to\u003cbr\u003erecapture his lost youth, you should know why and how he lost his youth.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA biographical introduction to a story is always boring, but I cannot\u003cbr\u003ehelp that. You must know how Tydvil was brought up or it will be\u003cbr\u003eimpossible to understand him. When you know he began life with a\u003cbr\u003ehandicap that not one man in a million could carry to the winning post\u003cbr\u003eyou will recognise that he might have been much worse than he was.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo begin with Tydvil was an only child. His father was middle-aged when\u003cbr\u003eTydvil arrived, and was a man deeply absorbed in his business. His\u003cbr\u003emother was a woman of iron will and an ultra pious disposition. That she\u003cbr\u003einsisted on calling her son Tydvil because his father had been born in\u003cbr\u003eMerthyr Tydvil, and had her way, is one proof of the inflexibility of\u003cbr\u003eher purpose.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was the boy's good luck that with his mother's will he inherited the\u003cbr\u003ebusiness ability of his father. As there was not room in one family for\u003cbr\u003etwo will-powers such as her own, Mrs. Jones, senior, did her best to\u003cbr\u003eeradicate that of her son in his infancy; but never recognised that,\u003cbr\u003ethough suppressed, it remained latent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow, Mrs. Jones as the moving spirit in half a dozen societies for the\u003cbr\u003emoral improvement of everybody and everything, obtained an insight into\u003cbr\u003easpects of life that are usually kept decently covered up. Not being as\u003cbr\u003ewise as she believed herself to be, and seeing results without\u003cbr\u003eunderstanding causes, she was firmly convinced that all men were brutes.\u003cbr\u003eShe asserted her belief so often that the natural brutality of man\u003cbr\u003ebecame the basic axiom of her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe was determined, therefore, that her son would grow up an exception,\u003cbr\u003eand took measures accordingly. It was the boy's hard luck that; as an\u003cbr\u003eonly child, she was able to devote her entire attention to him while she\u003cbr\u003ewas not otherwise engaged in reforming society.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47174083051760,"sku":"2940013689619","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013689619_p0.jpg?v=1763584554","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013689619","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
