Book excerpt: Prolific author Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944) described his novel, The Mayor of Troy, as a tragi-comedy. Solomon Hymen, the Mayor of Troy, has struggled to break free of the poverty that engulfed his family. Leaving home at sixteen, he is at last able to return home to Troy and repurchase his old home. When Solomon gets involved in smuggling from Guernsey, and with fears of a French invasion rising, trouble again finds him. A freak misfortune takes him to the theatre, and he is kidnapped along with the actors by a press-gang. While trying to regain his freedom, Solomon finds himself facing down French fire and incalculable odds. The absurdity and drama of small town life on the southern coast of England during the Napoleonic Wars are portrayed with humour and pathos by one of the standout writers of the Edwardian Age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mayor of Troy Good wine needs no bush; but this story has to begin with an apology. Years ago I promised myself to write a treatise on the lost Mayors of Cornwall - dignitaries whose pleasant fame is now night, recalled only by some neat byword or proverb current in the Delectable (or as a public speaker pronounced it the other day, the Dialectable) Duchy. Thus you may hear of "the Mayor of Falmouth, who thanked God when the town gaol was enlarged;" "the Mayor of Market Jew, sitting in his own light;" "the Mayor of Tregoney, who could read print upside-down, but wasn't above being spoken to;" "the Mayor of Calenick, who walked two miles to ride one;" "the Mayor of East Looe, who called the King of England 'Brother.'" Everyone remembers the stately prose in which Gibbon records when and how he determined on his great masterpiece, when and how he completed it. "It was at Rome: on the 15th of October, 1764, as I sat musing amidst the ruins of the Capitol, while the bare-footed friars were singing vespers in the Temple of Jupiter, that the idea of writing the Decline and Fall of the City first started in my mind."

Download or read book The Mayor of Troy written by Sir Arthur Thomas Quiller-Couch and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Had the Major in London been crossed in love? No; I incline to believe that Miss Pescod was mistaken. That hearts, up there, fluttered for a man of his presence is probable, nay certain. In port and even in features he bore a singular likeness to the Prince Regent. He himself could not but be aware of this, having heard it so often remarked upon by persons acquainted with his Royal Highness as well as by others who had never set eyes on him. In short, our excellent Major may have dallied in his time with the darts of love; there is no evidence that he ever took a wound. Within a year after his return he bought back the ancestral home of the Hymens, a fine house dating from the reign of Queen Anne. (His great-grandfather had built it on the site of a humbler abode, on the eve of the South Sea collapse.) It stood at the foot of Custom House Hill and looked down the length of Fore StreetÑa perspective view of which the Major never weariedÑno, not even on hot afternoons when the population took its siesta within doors and, in the words of Cai Tamblyn, "you might shot a cannon down the streets of Troy, and no person would be shoot." This Cai (or Caius) Tamblyn, an eccentric little man of uncertain age, with a black servant Scipio, who wore a livery of green and scarlet and slept under the stairs, made up the Major's male retinue. Between them they carried his sedan chair; and because Cai (who walked in front) measured but an inch above five feet, whereas Scipio stood six feet three in his socks, the Major had a seat contrived with a sharp backward slope, and two wooden buffers against which he thrust his feet when going down-hill. Besides these, whom he was wont to call, somewhat illogically, his two factotums, his household comprised Miss Marty and a girl Lavinia who, as Miss Marty put it, did odds and ends. Miss Marty was a poor relation, a third or fourth cousin on the maternal side, whom the Major had discovered somewhere on the other side of the Duchy, and promoted. Socially she did not count. She asked no more than to be allowed to feed and array the Major, and gaze after him as he walked down the street.
