Excerpt from London Society, Vol. 65: A Monthly Magazine of Light and Amusing Literature for the Hours of Relaxation; January to June, 1894 The one thing that was not' common amongst the seething crowd of pleasure-seekers, was the broad white shirt-front of the gentleman in evening dress. In the months of August and Sep tember such a sight had become rare - that was perhaps why so many heads were turned to look back at Colonel Vane Darley, as he sauntered down the centre walk with a Slight, half-grown girl hanging on to his arm. He was a tall, well-made man, broad-shouldered and lean flanked, whose forty years had made but little difference in his good looks; his faultlessly-made 'clothes sat easily upon his upright figure, and there was about him altogether that indeb scribable air of careless grace which denotes the man of the world who is accustomed to good society.
