Excerpt from Alec's Bride, Vol. 2 Roda's would have failed to lodge in Avery Govan's brain. Indeed, he seemed to think that his present object in life was to keep up the position of the family, - to act by his own fashionable idleness as a sort of set-ofl to that unassuming humility which his sister's industry appeared to imply. And certainly, if a very swellish turn-out, and an extensive variety of light-coloured gloves, and an unlimited con sumption of cigars, as he strolled leisurely through the streets, after hearing the choristers practise, could have done anything in that direction, the Govans would have had a first rate position in Ulphusby - no family in the place better.
