Excerpt from The Harding Scandal, Vol. 2
The General"s composition was not such stuff as stage villains are made of; he was not wicked from a diabolical love of wickedness. On the contrary, he would have very much preferred to steer clear of dangerous practices - to be benevolent, charitable, and worthily beloved by all; in other words, he would have liked to possess, say, twenty thousand a year to bestow freely as he pleased. But as he had nothing in the world but a large number of unpaid debts, the case was different.
