Excerpt from Sydney Clifton, or Vicissitudes in Both Hemispheres, Vol. 2 of 2: A Tale of the Nineteenth Century
"He hath a daily beauty in his life,
That makes me ugly."
"For this slave,
If there be any cunning cruelty,
That can torment him much, and hold him long,
It shall be his."
Othello.
The elder Mr. De Lyle, whose early attachment to Clifton was evinced by placing him in so favourable a situation in his counting-room, that, with ordinary application, he would speedily acquire all the knowledge requisite to success in mercantile pursuits learned with the most poignant regret the conspicuous part assigned to his protege, both in the offences connected with the gamblers, and the duel which succeeded.
