About this ebook
"The Naughty Man or Sir Thomas Brown" is a social satire poem from 1878. The poem ridicules a rich millionaire in his eighties, Sir Thomas Brown. "He had sons, and daughters settled in life, he was a widower, having no wife." Although old, yet quite lively, "he was old, being now eighty-three, But managed to get down to breakfast, and tea," Sir Thomas falls in love with a young widow Ruth "A leader of fashions, lively and gay," and decides to marry her, giving her his fortune. The humorous story takes unexpected turns and is truly engaging.
