Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Baddington Peerage, Vol. 2 of 3: Who Won, and Who Wore It, a Story of the Best and the Worst Society Philip Leslie indeed (under which name the poor devil of a painter whom I have heretofore occasionally designated under the embarrassing cognomen of the Unknown will be henceforward recognised in this story), possessed a character and disposition, and was gifted with qualities and attributes, de serving minuter, more extended, and more careful notice, than is usually allotted to the hero of a romance. Of his outward guise I have not felt bound to say much, but as regards those inner traits which my power of divination as a story-teller privileges me to foresee and to foreknow, it behoves me to be less concise and more explicit. Bear with me, then, while I endeavour to place before you the man - not in his habit as he lived, for outward garments are but sorry guides, and afford but an Insufficient key to character.
