Tale Of A Physician Or The Seeds And Fruits Of Crime Scholars Choice Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from Tale of a Physician, or the Seeds and Fruits of Crime, Vol. 1 of 3 The gallant and gorgeously dressed captain was a few years her senior. Now behold him, about to become a bridegroom tall, stately, dignified, and commanding. Do you not admire the perfect symmetry of form and feature Has not Dame Nature stamped him as a personage of remark able talent and distinction? How perfectly agreeable in his appearance and manners! See the vivacity and elegance of his expressive countenance! He has a rather vain, yet military walk. And it is also true that he has a piquant and retreating chin. Possibly this slight defect is indicative of the paradox in his apparently unblemished character. Here we ought to observe the curious fact that he was never known to have any relatives in the city. His most valued and chiefest acquaintances and associates were, to all appearance, mainly officers and soldiers of the army. He pretended to only amuse himself with the disreputable habitues of the ale-houses and gambling-saloons in the cellars and in the faubourgs. He professed to have im mense sums of money at his command. He attributed his position in the army to motives of patriotism. Thus, on all occasions, he unfailingly gave every one the dis tinct and unquestioning impression that he was a gentle man of noble blood and large wealth.
