Synopsis
Excerpt from Northwest
Yet Stannard was athletic, and at Parisian clubs and Swiss hotels men talked about his fencing and his exploits on the rocks. He was not a big man, but now his thin jacket was Open, the moulding of his Chest and the curve to his black silk belt were Greek. All the same, one rather got a sense Of cultivation than strength; Stannard looked thoroughbred, and Jimmy was proud he was his friend.
Jimmy was not cultivated. He was a careless, frank and muscular English lad, but he was not al together raw, because he knew London and Paris and had for some time enjoyed Stannard's society. His manufacturing relations in Lancashire thought him an extravagant fool, and perhaps had grounds for doing so, for since Jimmy had broken their firm control his prudence was not marked.
