He  had  an  unbounded<\/b> <b class=\"calibre1\">contempt  for the foolish  pretty type,  such as his  fellow guest.  Alington<\/b> <b class=\"calibre1\">West  was  the  supreme  authority  on  mental  disease,  and  he  was  fully<\/b> <b class=\"calibre1\">alive to his own position and importance. A slightly pompous man of full<\/b> <b class=\"calibre1\">figure. <\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"calibre2\">\n<b class=\"calibre1\">&#8220;A  great  deal  of  nonsense  is  talked,  I  know  that,  Mrs  Eversleigh.

It was a small dinner party &#8211; she and<\/b> <b class=\"calibre1\">her  husband,  Violet  Eversleigh,  Sir  Alington  West,  and  his  nephew<\/b> <b class=\"calibre1\">Dermot West, who was an old friend of Jack Trent&#8217;s.
