| Mr Carlson Hamlin |
| Thirty and five. He is a tall dashing figure, despite being in the clergy and has managed to secure a good holding, and has a lovely wife and some children to prove his stablity. He is somewhat imprudent in his expenditures and has occasionally had to apply to his father for help in ridding himself of debt. Lately, however, he has been looking for a cheaper residence and elsewhere for his wife and family, who are as bad as he is in learning how to economize. |
