Excerpt from The Novels of William Harrison Ainsworth, Vol. 14
Nearly nine years after the events last recorded, and about the middle of May 1724, a young man of remarkably prepossessing appearance took his way, one afternoon, along Wych Street; and from the curiosity with which he regarded the houses on the left of the road, seemed to be in search of some particular habitation. The age of this individual could not be more than twenty-one; his figure was tall, robust, and gracefully proportioned; and his clear grey eye and open countenance bespoke a frank, generous, and resolute nature.
