Excerpt from The Marquis of Carabas, Vol. 2 of 3: A Story of to-Day

'Your American friend is quite a character, ' remarked Lord Cranbery to Luxmore a week afterwards, when paying another visit to the artists studio. On this occasion he was accompanied by the Marquis of Carabas, whose admiration of the artists wonderful draughtsmanship was considerably mixed with dislike of his method and his subjects.

'He is not the conventional loud-spoken man from the States at all, ' Cranbery continued, 'I should like to see more of him.'
