The Amateur Gentleman

By Jeffery Farnol

Book Overview

John Barty, ex-champion of England and landlord of the "Coursing Hound," sat screwed round in his chair with his eyes yet turned to the door that had closed after the departing lawyer fully five minutes ago, and his eyes were wide and blank, and his mouth (grim and close-lipped as a rule) gaped, becoming aware of which, he closed it with a snap, and passed a great knotted fist across his brow. "Barnabas," said he slowly, "I beant asleep an' dreaming be I, Barnabas?"

Will Appeal to Georgette Heyer Fans

If you're a Georgette Heyer fan with a liking for period language and witty dialogue, try Jeffery Farnol. His books came out in the early 1900s and compare quite favorably to her regency romances. You have the duels, highwaymen, and haughty ladies with a variety of plots. They are great reading.
