feeling lie was much shorter than GrIswold to whom he was deep ly attached for whom he had Indeed the frank admiration of a small boy for a big brother Ho sometimes wondered how fully Griswold entered into the projects of adventure which he In his supreme Idleness l planned and proposed but he hImself had never been quite ready to mount horse or shako out sail and what GrIswold had said about Indecision rankled In his heart He was sorry now that ho had told of this new en terprise to which he had pledged him self but he grow lenient toward Grls wolds lack of sympathy as he re flected that the quest of a winking girl was rather beneath the dignity of a gentleman wedded not merely to tho law but to the austere teaching profession as well In his heart ho I forgave GrIswold but he was all the more resolved to address himself stub bornly to his pursuit of the deity of t the car Alexandra for only by finding her could he establish himself In nrln welds eyes as a man of action capable of carrying through a scheme requiring cleverness and tact Ardmore was almost painfully rich but the usual diversions of the wealthy did not appeal to him and having exhausted ex-hausted foreign travel he spent much time on his estate In the North Carolina Caro-lina hills where he could ride all day on his own land and where he read prodigiously In a huge library that ho had assembled with special reference to works on piracy a subject sub-ject that had attracted him from early youth It was this hobby that had sealed his friendship with Griswold who had relinquished the practice of law after a brilliant start In his native city of Richmond to accept the associate professorship pro-fessorship of admiralty In the law department de-partment of the University of VIrginia Vir-ginia Marine law had a particular fascination for GrIswold from Its essentially es-sentially romantic character As a law student he had read all the decisions de-cisions In admiralty that the libraries afforded and though faithfully servIng serv-ing the university he still occasional ly I accepted retainers In admiralty cases of unusual Importance His lectures i lec-tures were constantly attended by students In
