Excerpt from The Heritage of Eve Jemima Ann, where he had speedily won a considerable fortune, which, however, was even more speedily dissipated in kindred enterprises. That he might wrestle well, and overcome more than his enemies, his ambitious godfather selected the name of Orlando for the destined student. He would gladly have adopted his protege but for two reasons. One was that Orlando's Aunt Margery, from what she called a high sense of duty, ' thought fit to bury family feuds and see after her ne'er-do-well brother's son her self. The other was sadder still, namely, that in spite of his beautifully appropriate name, his training from the cradle, and all the in uences which could be brought to bear on him, Orlando showed a distinct preference for' blowing birds' eggs, ying kites, sailing boats, even winding worsted yarn or beating batter - any amusement or occupa tion, in short, rather than apply his youthful mind to Shakespearian study; and it was an incontrovertible fact that his play-fellow, Titania, though she belonged to the weaker sex, displayed more appreciation of and aptitude in the pursuit of knowledge.
