Excerpt from The Queen of Love a Novel, Vol. 3 of 3
Jabez Grice had a brother-in-law of the name of Wilkes - a life-long friend, who shared his views on most subjects, though a very different man in manner and habits. It was, in fact, their early friendship that had led Grice to marry the sister of Ezekiel Wilkes.
Wilkes had never married. He was a lively, pleasant man, and was employed as a salaried agent to the political party to which he belonged, to look up the lists of voters, whip in such as had not registered and were sure to vote true, and to object to the claims of such as could not be calculated on, or who were known to be adverse in opinion.
