I, Thou, and the Other One by Amelia Edith Huddleston Barr Book Summary

This is a story book. For friendship they have a capacity closer than brotherhood. Once friends, they are friends forever, and can be relied on in any emergency to 'aid, comfort, and abet', legally or otherwise, with perhaps a special zest to give assistance, if it just smacks of the 'otherwise'. Of such elements, John Atheling, lord of the manors of Atheling and Belward, was 'kindly mixed', a man of towering form and great mental vigour, blunt of speech, single of purpose, leading, with great natural dignity, a sincere, unsophisticated life. He began this story one evening in the May of 1830; though when he left Atheling manor-house, he had no idea anything out of the customary order of events would happen. It is however just these mysterious conditions of everyday life that give it such gravity and interest; for what an hour will bring forth, no man can say; and when Squire Atheling rode up to the crowd on the village green, he had no presentiment that he was going to open a new chapter in his life. He smiled pleasantly when he saw its occasion. It was a wrestling match; and the combatants were his own chief shepherd and a stranger. In a few moments the shepherd was handsomely 'thrown' and nobody knew exactly how it had been done.
