Excerpt from The Riddle of Life: A Novel

If some of the young ladies on the promenade deck gave Stephen Derwent a glance more kindly than critical, no one could really blame them. He was tali, close upon six feet; his features were not only regular, but gave evidence of strength; there was a positive set about his shoulders which meant more than mere physical vitality; and that clean shaven face of his indicated both energy and will. At a casual glance he looked full thirty years of age; but when one came closer to him, his youth fulness became more apparent, and it would be seen then that he was not more than twenty-four or five at the most.
