"Mr. Dorian Gray? Who is he?" asked Lord Fermor, knitting his

bushy white eyebrows.

"That is what I have come to learn, Uncle George. Or rather, I

know who he is. He is the last Lord Kelso's grandson. His mother

was a Devereux, Lady Margaret Devereux. I want you to tell me

about his mother. What was she like? Whom did she marry? You have

known nearly everybody in your time, so you might have known her.

I am very much interested in Mr. Gray at present. I have only

just met him."
