Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Only to Be Married, Vol. 3 of 3: A Novel
When Leighton met F orester in Canonbury, when he had come to London to obtain for the first time the fatal help of Abrahams, he was more certain than ever that his worst sus picions Were being justified. He was haunted for weeks by the wild haggard look of his too successful rival. With an instinct that seemed to amount almost to a power of divination, he read the whole dark history of the man in every line of his face and every movement of his body - read at any rate the general drift of the history. He could not guess what form of Vice had gained the mastery over him - wine or women, or gambling, or all of them put together; but he could see, past all possibility of doubt, that Forester was ruined, and that he was ruined disgracefully.
