Excerpt from The Black Mass: A Contemporary Romance While generally popular among the women of his acquaintance, who appreciated the enthusiasm which he could display over the merest domestic trifles, such as the hanging of a picture or the colour of an art fabric, Raymond Eager was declared by most men to be somewhat eccentric. But the judgment must be discounted by a little natural though unexpressed jealousy, on their part, of his almost universal power of appreciation. For 'eccentric' read 'erratic', which he was admitted to be by his most ardent admirers. "Why is Eager unlike a leopard?" was a riddle once propounded by his friend Jermyn Brand, the answer being, "Because he's always changing his spots." The observation was passably true for a would-be humorous remark, but Brand had shrewdly added that spots, after all, were only skin-deep.
