Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from My Uncle and My Cure Her disposition was a faithful copy of her physique. It was made up of irregularities, asperities, and sharp corners, against which the unfortunates who lived with her ran every day. My uncle, a country gentleman whose stupidity had become a proverb in the place, had married her through weakness of mind and character. He died a short time after his marriage, and I never knew him. When I came to think it over, I attributed his premature death to my aunt, who seemed to me strong enough to put speedily underground not only one poor fellow, like my uncle, but a whole regiment, even, of husbands. I was two years old when my parents went to the other world, leaving me to the caprice of the events of life and of my relatives. They left a goodly remnant ofa large fortune, about four hundred thousand francs in land, which brought in a very fair revenue.
