My Brave and Gallant Gentleman Robert Watson

Excerpt from My Brave and Gallant Gentleman: A Romance of British Columbia
Why all this fuss over a matter which concerned only two individuals, I could not understand. Had I been going to marry the Lady Rosemary, - which, Heaven forbid, - I should have whipped her quietly away to some little, country parsonage, to the reg istrat of a small country town; or to some village blacksmith, and so got the business over, out of hand. But, of course, I had neither the inclination, nor the intention, let alone the Opportunity, of put ting to the test what I should do in regard to mar tying her, nor were my tastes in any way akin to those of my most elegant, elder brother, Viscount Harry, Captain of the Guards, - egad, - for which two blessings I was indeed truly thankful.
As I was thus ruminating, the library door opened and my noble sire came in, spick and span as he al ways was, and happier looking than usual.
