Book excerpt: Excerpt from Newton Dogvane: A Story of English Country Life A long preface is like a long grace; it keeps you from your meat, while the viands grow cold, the vegetables indigestible, and the sauces lumpy. Who Mr. Newton Dogvane was, can be explained in a few words - he was the son of his father; and the whole City, as well as Mr. Dogvane, junior, knew at least what his father was. Dogvane, the elder, was a successful drysalter, who had begun life upon small means; but by dint of minding his own business, and looking more after his own affairs than those of his neighbours, he had managed to get together a decent amount of worldly goods, and was generally reported to be a safe man; a man whose word was as good as his bond-and that is no light meed of praise in these degenerato times. Mr. Dogvane never speculated out of his business, and not very largely in it. Ho had married early an estimable woman, and that one word describes her better than a page of eulogy.
