| Mr Jackson Hamlin |
| Thirty and four. Quiet, abstract, he works for another relative who is a manager of a book shop in Bath. He is single, but attractive despite his trade. His neatly cared for black hair, sharp intelligent blue eyes, and darkened skin, give him a slightly dashing air. He was not always a book seller but had chosen to do so after discovering that life at sea was not for him. |
