About this book
Brothers, The True History of a Fight Against Odds, is by Horace Annesley Vachell. The dedication is addressed to all men and women who have striven, and in particular to those who have confronted ill-fortune, ill-health, and disappointment with fortitude and serenity. A prefatory note says it is likely that the brothers in this book will be recognised by some readers, who may indict the good taste of revealing a secret.
The text says the brothers moved up out of Paradise, into the Second Fifth, Paradise Lost, and thence into the First Fifth, Paradise Regained. The text says that Archie made a great score at Lord's, carrying out his bat for eighty-seven runs in the first innings. A speaker named Maitland says that he became a parson from ignoble motives, and that he realised that no life is a failure which brightens however faintly the lives of others.
