Serial originally published in the Cornhill Magazine, Sept. 1862 - April 1864. Illustration depicts Colonel Dale, Johnny Eames and Lord Theodore de Guest as in Chapter XXXII: '"Dale," said he, "won't you take some more wine?" "Nothing more," said the colonel, still looking at the fire, and shaking his head very slowly. "Come, Johnny, fill your glass." He had already got into the way of calling his young friend Johnny, having found that Mrs. Eames generally spoke of her son by that name. "I have been filling my glass all the time," said Eames, taking the decanter again in his hand as he spoke.'
