Lord Ormont and his Aminta

CHAPTER II
34/39

Is that to be found certificated out of the rolls of Society?
It may just possibly be found, without certificate, however, in those muddled caverns where the excluded intermingle.

Here and there, in a peasant family, or a small country tradesman's just raised above a peasant, honest regenerating blood will be found.

Nobles wanting refreshment from the soil might do worse than try a slip of one of those juicy weeds; ill-fated, sickly Royalties would be set-up striding through another half-century with such invigoration, if it could be done for them! There are tales.

The tales are honourably discredited by the crazy constitutions of the heirs to the diadem.
Yes, but we are speculating on the matter seriously, as though it were one of intimate concern to the family.

What is there to make us think that Ormont would marry?
Impossible to imagine him intimidated.
