About this ebook
When Anne India heard of the death of her cousin Tomlin, she exulted in life's restored cleanliness. Cousin Tomlin had been born with a little horn above his left ear. It had vanished during his babyhood leaving only a corneous spot on his skull; but people were glad when Tomlin died. When Anne India gave birth to a son conceived in the triumph of Cousin Tomlin's demise, her husband implored the doctor to let it die. For baby Rex had a little horn above his left ear. But Rex was not allowed to die. He was cherished and guided from squalling infancy to wobbly-kneed childhood, to brooding, weak- stomached youth; and from the path of his progress Anne cast aside all obstacles... Despite her efforts, Rex grows up and dies in drunken debauchery. --Time, Mar. 12, 1928.
