Excerpt from The Rider in Khaki: A Novel
"Will he marry her?"
"Do you think he will marry her?" asked Harry Morby.
"Does anybody know what he will do," replied Vincent Newport, discussing their host Alan Chesney, of Trent Park, a beautiful estate in Nottinghamshire, close to the Dukeries, Sherwood Forest, and the picturesque village of Ollerton.
In the billiard room they had just finished a game of a hundred up, it was an even battle but Morby won by a few points; they were Chesney"s friends, captains in the same regiment - the Guards - from which Alan Chesney resigned his commission some twelve months ago. Why he resigned was best known to himself; they had not heard the reason; nobody in the regiment appeared to have any idea.
"She"s a splendid woman," said Harry, with a sigh.
