Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christie Johnstone and Singleheart and Doubleface Foremost among these are Wealth and Rank: were I to add Beauty to the list, such men and women as go by fact, not by conjecture, would hardly contradict me. The fortunate man is he who, born poor, or nobody, works gradually up to wealth and consideration, and having got them, dies before he finds they were not worth so much trouble. Lord Ipsden started with nothing to win; and natur ally lived for amusement. Now nothing is so sure to cease to please, as pleasure, to amuse, as amusement: unfortunately for himself he could not at this period Of his life, warm to politics; so, having exhausted his London clique, he rolled through the cities Of Europe in his carriage, and cruised its Shores in his yacht. But he was not happy! He was a man of taste, and sipped the arts and other knowledge, as he sauntered Europe round.
