The American Senator

CHAPTER II
2/16

Now the Rufford and Ufford hounds have four days, and sometimes a bye.

It went much against Mr.Reginald Morton's pride when he was first driven to take a subscription.
But the temporary distress into which the family fell was caused not so much by his own extravagance as by that of two sons, and by his indulgence in regard to them.

He had three children, none of whom were very fortunate in life.

The eldest, John, married the daughter of a peer, stood for Parliament, had one son, and died before he was forty, owing something over L20,000.

The estate was then worth L7,000 a year.
