Excerpt from Faith and Unfaith: A Novel It seems such a little time ago since they both were lads together. A tiny space taken from the great eternity, when all is told. How well the living man remembers at this moment many a boyish freak and light-hearted jest, many a kindness shown, and gift bestowed by the dead, that until now had well-nigh been forgotten! He thinks of the good old college days when they had worked little, and fought hard, and trained their fresh young limbs to mighty deeds, and walked, and rode, and held their own with the best, and showed open defiance of dons and deans and proctors. He lingers, too, on the days still farther on, when Reginald - having attained to his kingdom - lavished with no meagre hand upon his more extravagant brother the money so sorely needed. Now Reginald is gone, and he, Arthur, reigns in his stead, and - alas! Alas! Poor Reggy - Poor, dear old fellow!
