Excerpt from The Dishonor of Frank ScottThe elder brother was less good natured, as Frank found to his cost, and much cleverer. He was beginning to be spoken of as a most promising young member of the House, when his father's death from a fall in the hunting field translated him, much to his disgust, to the House of Lords. Later on, it will be remembered, he became a member of the Cabinet, and it was said he would have risen higher still had not his death, at forty-nve, made way for the present Lord Barking.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
