Excerpt from Helen Treveryan, or the Ruling Race
He was 'a singularly fine-looking man; tall and powerful, with a high-bred regular face and taking manners, hearty but courteous. His complexion and his blue eyes were clear and bright; and his reddish hair was still thick and almost untouched by gray. The broad rounded forehead and slightly aquiline nose, and the straight strongly-marked eyebrows, gave evidence of talent and character. Those eyebrows, rather broad than heavy, were the distinctive feature of the Treveryans. They were to be found in almost every one of the family pictures. The Squire shaved all but his whiskers, showing a mobile well-cut mouth, and a rather prominent underlip and chin. A hand somer man one could hardly see.
Unfortunately the Squire was not free from some dangerous qualities. He had a strong will, with undeniable talent and originality of mind; but his judgment was not altogether trust worthy, and his reckless disregard for money had often been a trouble to his wife. It was not extravagance of the ordinary type. He spent little on horses, or shooting, or dress, or wine, or any of the usual luxuries. He rarely drank anything but water. And though he had a magnificent appetite he liked the plainest of food and in every way his tastes were very simple. But he seemed to look upon money as a worthless thing, to be given away with the most lavish generosity if any one wanted it.
