add to cart   close window

The author recalls a memorable morning when his father opened the newspaper and shocked to read the news of arrest of his cousin called by the name Lewis. The author's cousin has not committed burglary of murder, but he has done something infinitely worse, he had been disobedient and impertinent to a policeman. The policeman, who loved law and order, had told Lewis to move on when he was talking with some "discontented" strikers, "low" fellows who would rob his Father of all he possessed, although they had "neither the intelligence nor the education" to appreciate Father's old Roman coin collection or his valuable classical library.
