Now, Geoffrey he loved, but George he hated. And so great by years did this hatred grow that after a bit he sought how he should leave the property away from his eldest-born, who was George, and leave it to Geoffrey, the younger,—which was hardly fair; for "what," says Aristotle, "is justice?—to give every man his own."

Over the face a handkerchief had been thrown, as the once handsome features were so discolored as to be absolutely repulsive to the sight.
