This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: 15 CHAPTER III. RETROSPECTION. As Lord Leuchars slowly retraced his steps to the drawing- room his heart felt very soft towards the young man from whom he had just parted.

Apart from the young man's evident conviction that he was no favourite with his father, that it was on Jacob rather than on Esau that with all goodwill the Squire's blessing?however a dubious form it might take?would assuredly descend, there was complete absence of any trace of resentment against the father or jealousy of the more favoured brother; and even the naive confession of the latter's superior intellectual powers hadbeen made with the air of a man who speaks of a thing that is self-evident to his hearer as well as to himself.

And he was furthermore a...<
