Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Doctor of Philosophy
Nevertheless he still possessed some of the outward marks of his ancient race. After his lights, albeit they were not brill iant indeed, he was a gentleman that is, if you measured him by his own definition of what a gentleman should be. One thing he did possess, and that was a full measure of the courage which had made the orig inal Huguenot, de Vyault, brave the press ure of the Grand Monarch until the revo cation of the Edict of Nantes beggared him in fortune and drove him to Eng land; a resolution which enabled him to survive the disgrace of being forced into manual labor for a livelihood.
