Excerpt from The Yellow Book, Vol. 11: Illustrated QuarterlyLord George Hell did, at last, atone for all his faults, in a way that was never revealed to the world during his life-time. The reason of his strange and sudden disappearance from that social sphere, in which he had so long moved and never moved again, I will unfold. My little readers will then, I think, acknowledge that any angry judgment they may have passed upon him must be reconsidered and, it may be, withdrawn. I will leave his lordship in their hands. But my plea for him will not be based upon that Candour of his, which some of his friends so much admired. There were, yes some so weak and so wayward as to think it a fine thing to have an historic title and no scruples. Here comes George Hell, they would say. How wicked my lord is looking I Noblesse oblige, you see, and so an aristocrat should be very careful of his good name. Anonymous naughtiness does little harm.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
