Excerpt from That Mainwaring Affair

Half reclining upon a couch on the opposite side of the room, in an attitude more comfortable than graceful, leisurely smoking a fine Havana, was Ralph Mainwaring, of London, a cousin of the New York broker, who, at the invitation of the latter, was paying his first Visit to the great western metropolis. Between the two cousins there were few points of resemblance. Both had the same cold, calculating gaze, which made one, subjected to its scrutiny, feel that he was being mentally weighed and measured and would, in all probability, be found lacking; but the Lon doner possessed a more phlegmatic temperament. A year or two his cousin's junior, he looked considerably younger, as his hair and heavy English side whiskers were unmixed with gray and he was inclined to stoutness.
