Explore "Queen of Hearts" by Fred M. White on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Nine o'clock on the same evening that Parkhurst found the book in which Sir Walter had written so much and so vividly on the inner history of modern China, saw him in Lyttleton's chambers in the Inner Temple, discussing Tom Gilchrist's affairs with the man who was going to defend him at his trial. These two were old friends and had been at school together, so that legal etiquette had little to do with their conversation.
Lyttleton was one of the coming men, keen-faced and alert, and more than unusually interested, seeing that he and Tom Gilchrist belonged to the same clubs.
