Castle Vane

Castle Vane by J.H.M. Abbott is about the intimidating yet handsome Major John Hilary Vane and his most-talked-about estate. Excerpt: «MAJOR JOHN HILARY VANE, of Her Majesty's One Hundred and Forty-sixth Regiment of Foot, strode angrily up George Street. If a man ever wore that expression of feature which is known as „a black look,“ it was worn by the senior major of the old „Perishers“ on this sunny morning in the year of Our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty.»
