Excerpt from Marquis and Merchant, Vol. 1 of 3 I have begun with the youngest member of the party - this prettv piquant little Lady Mary. There was present also the Marquis, a handsome dark-bearded man in the prime of life, with a careless insouciant air in his dark languid eyes and indolent lips. Also was present his son by his first marriage, Adrian Lord Waynfiete, like his father, but an inch or so taller, and inheriting all his father's indolent careless power. Both father and son gave you the idea of men who could do anything under strong im pulse, but to whom continuous exertion would be a bore.
