Excerpt from The Dangerville Inheritance: A Detective Story
Lord Dangerville had never been fastidious in his amours, and the Parisian soubrette who for some months past had taken his ménage under her control, was only too willing to become a consenting party to his plans. The marriage duly took place with all needful formalities, and Lord Dangerville lost no time in conveying an intimation to his solicitor and to his son. Lord Cavander wrote briefly and coldly, signifying to his father his intention to keep his father's marriage unknown, if possible, and a desire to put an end even to the sickly acquaintance which had languished between them by the agency of that occasional corre spondence, which had hitherto largely consisted of requests for remittances on the one side and refusals more or less polite on the other.
