About this book

Lord Ormont and His Aminta, Volume 5, by George Meredith, has a contents list for Book 5 that names chapters, among others, Lovers Mated, A Marine Duet and Aminta to Her Lord. The chapter headed Lovers Mated describes a man who was benevolently martial, to the extent of paternal, in thinking his girl, of whom he deigned to think now as his countess, pardonably foolish. Aminta willingly promises to write from day to day, and the text says nothing occurred, unless the arrival of Mr. Weyburn was to be named an event.

Little Collett delivers a message of invitation from Selina, begging Mr. Weyburn to accompany her brother on the coach to Harwich next day. The schoolmates had not met since the old days of Cuper's. Calliani chatters of the habits and usages of the school, and how all had meals together, the master, his wife, the teachers, the boys. The school-house faced the master's dwelling house, and these, with a block of building, formed a three-sided enclosure, like barracks.

About the author

George Meredith

George Meredith was an English novelist and poet of the Victorian era. At first, his focus was poetry, influenced by John Keats among others, but Meredith gradually established a reputation as a novelist. The Ordeal of Richard Feverel (1859) briefly scandalised Victorian literary circles.
