Excerpt from Oliver Beaumont and Lord Latimer, Vol. 1 of 3
He was one to whom marriage would have been everything. A sensible wife in early days would have made a man Of him, would have made him a respectable and useful member of society. But Jack Dela ford saw a good deal of life, and in the course of his life saw a good deal of the cares of poverty where there is a family to provide for; and being an easy man, not luxurious, but liking ease and comfort, and dreading care, he early said, NO wife for me.
