Amazon.com description: Product Description: CHAPTER I AMBROSE, LORD LYNBOROUGH COMMON opinion said that Lord Lynborough ought never to have had a peerage and forty thousand a year; he ought to have had a pound a week and a back bedroom in Bloomsbury. Then he would have become an eminent man; as it was, he turned out only a singularly erratic individual. So much for common opinion. Let no more be heard of its dull utilitarian judgments! There are plenty of eminent menâat the moment, it is believed, no less than seventy Cabinet and ex-Cabinet Ministers (or thereabouts)âto say nothing of Bishops, Judges, and the British Academyâand all this in a nook of the world! (And the world too is a point!) Lynborough was something much more uncommon; it is not, however, quite easy to say what. Let the question be postponed; perhaps the story itself will answer it. He started lifeâor was started in itâin a series of surroundings of unimpeachable orthodoxyâEton, Christ Church, the Grenadier Guards. He left each of these schools of mental culture and bodily discipline, not under a cloudâthat metaphor would be ludicrously ineptâbut in an explosion. That, having been thus shot out of the first, he managed to enter the secondâthat, having been shot out of the second, he walked placidly into the thirdâthat, having been shot out of the third, he suffered no apparent damage from his repeated propulsionsâthese are matters explicable only by a secret knowledge of British institutions. His father was strong, his mother came of stock even stronger; he himselfâAmbrose Caverly as he then wasâwas very popular, and extraordinarily handsome in his unusual outlandish style.
