   Hi, Ardith Hinton!   
   I read your message from 12.06.2022 23:00   
      
     ak>>  I was born in the year 18xx to a large fortune,   
     ak>>  endowed besides with excellent parts, inclined   
     ak>>  by nature to industry, fond of the respect of   
     ak>>  the wise and good among my fellow men, and thus,   
     ak>>  as might have been supposed, with every guarantee   
     ak>>  of an honourouble and distinguished future.   
     ak>>  "endowed besides with excellent parts" -- what does   
     ak>>  it mean?   
     AH>            In bygone days, an adult male with numerous talents   
     AH> &/or abilities was often described as "a man of many   
     AH> parts".  The expression is no longer in common use but may   
     AH> still be found in some dictionaries.            As to "endowed   
     AH> with"... while this individual's family could afford to pay for the   
     AH> best education available at the time, he feels he was born with    
   what we   
     AH> might call a "gift" or a "knack" for a variety of pursuits.   
     AH> I guess if he was "inclined to industry" he did his homework too.   
     AH> :-)   
      
   BTW, it was a book by Kaplan International, for learners. ;) The main    
   feature of the novel it contains an abundance of new words. It is a    
   method of teaching. A book from Kaplan is small and contains a very    
   intrigue story. A pupil must gather all his industry to read it to the    
   end. ;-)   
      
   Bye, Ardith!
