He attended Eton College, where some of the scenes in Tim take place. He was an intimate friend of Henry James. --- My dearest of all Howards, I long so for news of you that nothing but this act of aggression will serve, and that even though I know (none better ) what a heavy, not to say intolerable overburdening of illness is the request that those even too afflicted to feed themselves shall feed the post with vivid accounts of themselves. But though I don't in the least imagine that you are not feeding yourself (I hope very regularly and daintily, ) this is all the same an irresistible surrender to sentiments of which you are the loved object-downright crude affection, fond interest, uncontrollable yearning. Look you, it isn't a request for anything, even though I languish in the vague-it's just a renewed declaration-of dispositions long, I trust familiar to you and which my uncertainty itself makes me want, for my relief, to reiterate.

Behind him stretches a rogues' gallery of picturesque upper-crust scoundrels. But he is uninterested in riding to hounds or drinking or whoring in the great tradition of his forebears, and though he admires his tough-minded puritanical Scottish mother, he lacks her unrelenting moral self-assurance. Sainty is instead a sensitive soul, physically delicate, sexually timid, intellectually inclined, utterly honest, and thoroughly decent, but constitutionally incapable of asserting himself. When it comes to assuming the responsibilities of his inheritance, to managing his feckless younger brother Albert or fathoming his sly cousin Clyde, and, above all, to the essential business of marrying and continuing the family line, Sainty hasn't a prayer.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53495591371025,"sku":"NIN9781410109095","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781410109095.jpg?v=1777861338"},{"product_id":"all-that-was-possible-book-howard-overing-sturgis-9781023856270","title":"All That Was Possible","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53656431132945,"sku":"NIN9781023856270","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781023856270.jpg?v=1781407544"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-howard-overing-sturgis.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
