“He melted Lady Grantham’s defenses with his sweetly earnest considerations in the days that passed after his introduction. For that Lady discovered that she could never enter a room without his huge dark eyes filling with anxiety as to her welfare or without his instant flattering interest in her appearance. But the fellow wasn’t a coxcomb, Sir Selby had to admit, for all his airs and graces. He was, in fact, a regular out-and-outer, and his fencing skills were the talk of the exclusive club th...at he had been taken to as a guest.There was nothing to dislike in him.
