Excerpt: ...on the sofa, and became absorbed in examining his nails. He was rather a handsome if anemic youth, with the general air of one who has weighed the world and found it wanting.

"I hope young Mr. Dillingham won't do anything desperate. To think of his cup of happiness being dashed from his lips-" The two young men looked at each other and laughed.
