Excerpt from The Arrant Rover
His is to be the story of a young man, to think of whom is to visualize with some ador ing female face close to his own.
He had, of course, plenty of other characteristics. He was not merely a man of affairs (either writ ten with the e that suggests impropriety, or without it). It does not follow that a man has no full-face merely because most of his portraits Show him in profile.
Our very first sideways glimpse, then, of Archie Laverock shows him with an adoring female face bent above his own. His own being scarlet and creased as a poppy-bud newly released from the Sheath; featureless, senile, working blindly fero cions with the will-to-live, and, judged by normal standards, entirely hideous.
