Excerpt from Mainwaring
Simple? And yet Mainwaringfi - my Mainwaring, England's (since She adopted him) Richard Denzil Blaise Mainwaring - was a genius, and could drive men like sheep down steep places into the sea; whereas Dr Benjamin his father drove nothing but a gig, and drove that SO badly when drunk one foggy day that he drove it into a stone wall, overturned it and broke his neck. Yet mark: it was because of that untimely indiscretion of his that Mainwaring himself went to Marseilles, saw me there, and involved me in his dangerously heady fortunes. It was because of that - but no more philosophy. I could go on for ever - and it is a Sign of age.
