Excerpt from The Heart of a Hero Lord Dion stopped in the middle of a sentence. Something electric passed between the two friends; that is to say, something t put into words, but pregnant with meaning. More than half the intelligence of life is conveyed in this way. Lord Dion Blair and Colonel James Wolfe, closest of friends, were walking slowly along the thoroughfare, which flanked one side of the Queen's Square of Bath. December was drawing to a close in the year 1757; the streets of the popular resort, then at the height of its fashion, were flecked with sw; two middle-aged men, heavily coated and armed with brooms, were keeping the road clear. They stood on one side while two ladies left the doorway of one of the white stone-built houses, which bordered the Square.
