The Romance of an Old-Fashioned Gentleman
Excerpt from The Romance of an Old-Fashioned Gentleman
Swinging in his seat he readjusted the rain-cloak and painting-kit that were strapped to his saddle-bags, and rode oh, his slouch hat pushed back from his fore head to cool his brow, his gray riding-coat unbuttoned and hanging loose, the brown riding-boots gripped about the mare's girth.

wow, from the title, i was expecting so little,, it was a very well written story about the life of a painter artist a hundred fifty years ago but the moral holds true even today, perhaps more so in these times of moral decay where the almighty dollar comes first. not so, the good person always ends up the better off.
