Book Description
Excerpt from Gurney Married, Vol. 1 of 3: A Sequel to Gilbert Gurney There was certainly something remarkably odd in the way in which I was inveigled into matrimony. My father-in-law's conduct might, in many other cases, have been attributed to interested motives, and his eagerness to conclude a matrimonial treaty between his daughter and myself, might have been put to the account of his anxiety to get her off his hands, and settle her advantageously in the world but that cannot be thought or imagined, the moment the smallness of my income is taken into consideration. What startles me most, and most powerfully excites my gratitude to Providence is, that circumstances should have occurred not only to prevent distress and uneasiness, and perhaps worse calamities, in my wife's family, and not onlv to rescue us from the necessity of undertaking a voyage to India, but to place us in a state of such agreeable compe teney as that in which we now find ourselves.

Book Description
Excerpt from Gurney Married, Vol. 1 of 2: A Sequel to Gilbert Gurney These words bring me to a subject upon-which I shall touch but lightly, because I may be disappointed; but as things look at present, it seems most probable that I shall attain to the dignity of a father before four moons have filled their horns. A thousand new ties will then bind me to the world - a thousand new duties devolve upon me. Well! I have thus early in life seen enough of the world to qualify me for a guardian and guide. To be sure, if I should have a son, he will not require much of my guiding tbr some years to come, and then I may look more sternly at the world's follies, and become a severe parent, as the young beau generally becomes an old sloven; but I think I shall be able to make my son, my friend; - a course of edu cation most favourable to a boy who is born while his father is yet young.

Excerpt from Gurney Married, Vol. 2 of 3: A Sequel to Gilbert Gurney I had no idea, said Wells, when Daly was out of hearing, that our entertaining mimic was your redoubtable friend, of whom you have so often spoken: if I had - and I wonder almost that you had not told me - I don't think I should have asked him here. My motive, said I, for not saying any thing about him was my desire not to betray him under his disguise but most certainly I did not expect to find him your guest.
