Zusammenfassung

Over the course of ninety-five years, Uncle Silas found the time to do most things: he boasted of the villains he had knocked to kingdom come as he boasted of the women whose hearts he had truly captured. Crotchety, vainglorious, occasionally wicked, he maintained a devilish spark of audacity which made him so attractive to everyone he met.
