Excerpt from Lord Fitzwarine, Vol. 1 of 3
Colonel Herbert and Major Sinclair had been attached friends for many years, and fellow-comrades in the same regiment during the Peninsular war Both had fought also in that bloody and hardly contested battle on the plains of Waterloo, where so many of their brave soldiers were laid low. Some few years had passed since that event, and they were now travelling together on a visit to their relatives in the North. Major Sinclair had reached his thirty-fifth year he was tall in stature, standing over six feet, and Well proportioned, although of rather spare than robust frame, possessing fine manly features, with eyes expressive of a re¿ective and sedate turn of mind. Colonel Herbert had passed his fortieth year, and although not so tall, exhi bited much more goodly proportions than his friend, with a handsome countenance, rather ¿orid complexion, and very dark brown hair, slightly silvered.
