Excerpt from In Sancho Panza's Pit "The sole succeeder to his wealth and fame, The last remaining pillar of his house!" Aylmer's Field. They were alone in the library at Cheswick Hall, the father sitting upright in an easy-chair, the son standing by one of the long, deep-seated windows looking out into the garden. The father portly and disabled by gout, - that inevitable foe to your bon viveur all the world over, - the son tall, slender, supple-limbed, a worthy scion of the old race that had counted princes in its line before the timbers had been seasoned for the fleet that bore Columbus to the green shores of that New Western World where the old hall reared its chimneys to-day. The father, contrary to long-established custom, was ignoring his post-prandial nap. There were heavy lines about his mouth, and a deep, lowering frown above his brows that were naturally stern and severe.
