[The Trials of the Soldier’s Wife by Alex St. Clair Abrams]@TWC D-Link bookThe Trials of the Soldier’s Wife CHAPTER THIRD 1/5
MR.
HORACE AWTRY. Mr.Horace Awtry was a native of the State of New York, and was, at the time of writing, about thirty-live years of age.
He was a tall and well-formed man, with light hair clustering in curls on a broad and noble looking forehead; his features were well chiselled, and his upper lip was ornamented with a mustache of the same color as his hair.
Notwithstanding his handsome features and extravagant display of dress, there was an expression in his dark blue eyes, which, though likely to captivate the young and innocent portion of the fair sex, was not deemed elegant by those who are accustomed to read the features of man.
He was very wealthy, but was a perfect type of the _roue_, although a good education and remarkable control of himself rendered it difficult for his acquaintances to charge him with dissipation, or any conduct unworthy of ft gentleman.
