Excerpt
He had sat long, absorbed in thought, not in clear conscious reflection, as was his wont, working out some mental problem step by step, or weighing with the mixture of boldness and caution peculiar to him, the pros and cons of some doubtful speculation. Now a confused multitude of bright fancies, in provoking variety and unbidable pertinacity, kept rolling in a thousand wavelets over his brain, the two dominant ideas being, a certain dark-eyed, golden-haired vision of female grace and harmony, and a picture of masculine uncouthness; the first of course represented by Madeline Dierby, the second by Hugh Elliott.
