Book Description
Excerpt from The Heir Presumptive and the Heir Apparent, Vol. 1 of 2 Lord Frogrnore was not, however, so entirely actuated by consideration for his brother as his stepmother thought. He was a man who took, and had taken all his life, very great care of himself. Whatever was his reason for not marrying, it was not on account of his brother john. No doubt he was aware that in all probability his brother would be his heir: but he did not dwell on that thought, or indeed contemplate the necessity of an heir at all. He took great care of his health, which was perfect, and had a system of life which secured him the utmost possible comfort and pleasure with the least possible trouble. A man who has no family to interfere with his liberty. Plenty of money, perfect control of his own time and actions, and no duties to Speak of, can make himself exceedingly comfortable when he sets his mind to it, and this was what Lord Frogmore had done.
