Excerpt from A Ruthless Avenger

Now it so happened that Ralph grew up tall and strong, a bold clever boy with a decided opinion and will of his own; while Lord Chertsey, the heir, was shy and weakly, with a good deal. Of his mother's gentle, clinging disposition.

The result, accordingly, of the close companionship between the two, was that their respective positions were reversed. In all things Ralph was leader and protector, little Chertsey the protected.

Lord Deptford possibly perceived the disadvantage of such a state of things, for latterly he had separated the pair. Before going to Cambridge, Chertsey had been sent abroad with a tutor while Ralph completed his education at Oxford.
