Description
Excerpt from Songs of a Haunted Heart
From childhood I was a close student of erudite authors, a dreamer, an idealist. When I was eighteen, to this old house, with its windows embrasured deep in ivy, and the lilies growing all along its walks, came the prince of journalists, whose name had long been to me a synonym for grace, gallantry, and greatness. Clergymen and college-boys had hitherto bounded my horizon, but my new friend was of a different mould. To a brilliant mind, cultivated by extensive travel, were added the charms of magnificent manners, an imperial bearing, a princely person, and a temperament peculiarly attractive to women - impulsive, passionate, and daring.
