In fact, it was music that had first brought him and Dorian Gray together--music and that indefinable attraction that Dorian seemed to be able to exercise whenever he wished--and, indeed, exercised often without being conscious of it.

They had met at Lady Berkshire's the night that Rubinstein played there, and after that used to be always seen together at the opera and wherever good music was going on.

For eighteen months their intimacy lasted.

Campbell was always either at Selby Royal or in Grosvenor Square.

To him, as to many others, Dorian Gray was the type of everything that is wonderful and fascinating in life.
