The room was decorated with rare flowers and incense burners. Ten years ago he inherited an immense fortune, forsook the country, and led a bohemian life in London, becoming the centre of a group of .esthetic youths, whose eccentricities were notorious.

Annoyed with the attention ho had aroused by his fantastic rites, Williams went to Paris.
