Excerpt from The Riddle of Life: A Novel If some of the young ladies on the promenade deck gave Stephen Derwent a glance more kindly than critical, no one could really blame them. He was tali, close upon six feet, his features were not only regular, but gave evidence of strength, there was a positive set about his shoulders which meant more than mere physical vitality, and that clean shaven face of his indicated both energy and will. At a casual glance he looked full thirty years of age, but when one came closer to him, his youth fulness became more apparent, and it would be seen then that he was not more than twenty-four or five at the most.
