Synopsis
Excerpt from Under Two Flags, Vol. 1 of 3: A Story of the Household and the Desert
The appellative, gained at Eton, was in no way un deserved. When the smoke cleared away that Was circling round him out of a great meerschaum-bowl, it showed a face of as much delicacy and brilliancy as a woman's, handsome, thorough-bred, languid, non chalant, with a certain latent recklessness under the impassive calm of habit, and a singular softness given to the large dark hazel eyes by the unusual length of the lashes over them. His features were exceedingly fair - fair as the fairest girl's; his hair was of the softest, silkiest, brightest chesnut; his mouth very beautifully shaped; on the whole, with a certain gentle, mournful love-me look that his eyes had with them, it was no wonder that great ladies and gay lionnes alike gave him the palm as the handsomest man In all the Household Regiments - not even ex cepting that splendid golden-haired Colossus, his oldest friend and closest comrade, known as the Seraph.
