(1 smash into, US and Canada only)MARCH'S Mental illness "BY EMERY LEE"To family who take in my read my novels to date, my love ("read obsession") with the Georgian era is pleasingly visible. For family of you who take in not, I draw you to open the pages and dip yourself in a mesmeric paradox that is nowhere better represented than in the lives of Georgian aristocrats - masses of whom adopted an apparent cease to deal with the sin at home.In my first in mint condition, THE Top figure STAKES, I delved fervently into the obsessive world of horseracing and location marriages, someplace nonbeing was set apart and an individual's happiness (really if one happened to be female) was uncomplicatedly laid detour to advance a family's political or social postpone. In FORTUNE'S SON I give support to explore the having a bet world and it commonly served as higher than a sea bypass, but as a behind schedule alternative for family with shortened basis whose social position did not award any taste of not eat a higher honest wealth. Certain to bet, masses faced financial knocking down and social impair, such as haphazardly (and murkily), Providence seemed to beam on finish persons for no finish rumor. One such lurid example (whom I in seventh heaven in bringing to life as a bracket together character in FORTUNE'S SON) was William Douglas - third Earl Roam and Ruglen, then the Fourth Duke of Queensbury, nicknamed "Old Q".Notwithstanding masses young, aristocrats shared higher luminary pursuits, wasted their days at swiftness tracks, cockpits, or over the environmentalist baize tables, Noble March's exploits and love of a bet are especially uniform for the having a bet Georgians. His utmost legendary bet has come to be unquestionable over the ages as Noble March's "swiftness against time" and plays a bulky role in FORTUNE'S SON. "(Quote FROM FORTUNE'S SON Episode 39) "Roam signaled a instrument for a new pack of cards to take back family he'd swept off the table to join the mounds strew about the punish. "One can do very well on prize," alleged Roam. "By way of example, I take in no minus than three good posture makers, and four cartwrights, currently engineering a detail for my near-term bet with Taaffe and Sprowle.""Are you still about that madness, March?" George Selwyn asked."So madness is this?" Philip inquired, laying down fifty guineas, and hopeful his nosy taste belied the near-emptiness of his pockets. Roam and Selwyn corresponding his stakes, and he absentmindedly dealt the first two cards, face-up to his speedy gone. "A basic chariot swiftness," alleged George. "As a fellow countryside man, you'll seemingly find the fellow's scheme utmost diverting." "I daresay Hastings has had his introduce somebody to an area of racing wagers." Noble March's jibe at Philip's in progress thrashing hit home."Not at all, my peer of the realm," Philip replied frigidly. "In imitation of one plays, one necessity depend on at last to pay." Noble Roam regarded Philip theoretically. "I never hold against a man who wins from me rightly.""Hence I remind you 'tis now clear of noon, and our friend Hastings is rouse, hale, and in present company," alleged George, referring to their previous bet.Noble Roam gaily open a fifty-pound spread note from a wad of bills in his raise, and handed it to George, time perpetual his recount. "The chariot bet was made some six-month clear of what Get Taaffe, that damnable upstart Irishman, boasted of having the release chaise and four in the terrain. In imitation of challenged to prove the state, he asserted he'd clocked them at twelve miles in an hour. 'Twelve miles?' says I. 'Why I'll lay you a thousand guineas, I can emit a chaise and unit shared again as fast.' Believing me out of my pioneer, Taaffe traditionally accepted my recompense." Philip replied with a fuss, "You "are "out of your pioneer, March! Eighteen miles in an hour? An beyond your reach fake. The release coach pulled by a unit of six doesn't break down ten miles per hour."Roam broke into a belated, sly beam. "A good posture is literally an scatterbrained tip is it not?" Roam alleged. "Equally the expressions of the bet did not celebrity a body be fitted to the good posture, our passenger will be slung on take cover straps concerning the two finance wheels. For example junction the back good posture to the fore in the trite taste, to meet the criteria cogency, we used cords and springs, and the station and bars are of thin wood eternal with adherent stock. As to the restriction, an optimal lightness was achieved by constructing the traces from silk, and the breechings, of whalebone.""Silk and whalebone? Do you wish to restriction your provide or to corset them?" Philip chuckled. "And you think to disappointment this deathtrap at eighteen miles per hour?""A knocked out assumption, Hastings! You think I'd desire such a hazard what I worth any number of adroit grooms to disappointment the contraption?""Believe I ask how masses take in moldy in the trials?""Why none take in suffered bring down than a few dented limbs," Roam replied inconsolably, but then confessed that he had off target shared a dozen provide, explaining, "They were only cut-rate runners. For the true trials I appeal nonbeing less than four semblance winners." Philip was horror-struck. "You would hazard four plate-winning provide for a thousand guineas? Mayhap your mind is unsystematic as soon as all."Noble Roam answered violently. "It's the height of the tip, Hastings! To boot, the odds are posted at four to one against me, which line of attack I stand to gain a downright sum in bracket together wagers, but the dough has become petty. Hell, I'm seven hundred pounds invested in advance and as like to treble that prescribed amount before all is alleged and finish. But I'll see it straight, by God.""That would clarification," Philip replied. "My hat is off to you, Roam. You are accurately one calculating imp. But if you lose any higher provide in the training runs, how do you pattern to win?""I only need four to swiftness, Hastings. I pattern to limit a starvation of "six" semblance winners as a possibility. I'm cheap the best of the lot for behind schedule, and won't set the date until I gaze the equipage fit, and the provide fitter." March's utter turned in up at the corners. "When all, I swiftness only to win." - "( END OF Quote)"Noble MARCH'S All-inclusive RACING CHAISEFirst-rate to form until the very end, having a bet, provide, and women continued to be Old Q's life passions until his short-lived at the interesting old age of eighty five.*~*~*~*Emery Lee is a true romantic and self-professed "Georgian Junkie."
