These resources, with the exception of receiving such few visitors as might care to know them on unequal terms, and a dogged pushing into notice in every place, promenade, theatre, or nobles' club, where no invitation was required, these resources consisted on the part of Charles Edward in the old, old Consoler, the flask of Cyprus or bottle of brandy, in the even grosser pleasures of excessive eating, the indefatigable, assiduous courtship of his young wife, and the occasional rows with his servants and acquaintances.

Violet Paget (AKA Vernon Lee)

Samuel Dill
I seem now but beginning the journey of life; and to have found a companion, guide, and Consoler like Frank Henley is surely no common felicity!
"Anna St. Ives"
Thomas Holcroft
