Excerpt from The Admiral's Ward: A Novel Mr. Trent, a slight, spare man, with keen dark eyes, hair just touched with gray, and a countenance somewhat worn and watch ful, had turned his chair a little from the knee-hole table loaded with papers before which he sat, to look at his partner who stood in front of the empty grate. Mr. Thurston was the type of a high class man of business. His Oxford gray morning coat and nether garments had come from the hands of an artist, his snowy linen was the outward and visible sign of exalted respectability, and his pale cream-colored summer waistcoat perfection itself in cut and getting up. His neat black tie was surmounted by a face, somewhat old-fashioned in aspect (there are old-fashioned faces), but by no means unpleasing.
