What's Bred In The Bone is a novel written by British author Grant Allen. The book tells the story of a young man named Frank Etheridge, who is born into a wealthy family in Victorian England. Frank's father is a successful businessman, and his mother is a socialite who is more interested in her own pleasures than in raising her children.Despite his privileged upbringing, Frank is a sensitive and introspective young man who struggles to find his place in the world. He is drawn to the arts and to intellectual pursuits, but his father disapproves of these interests and pushes him towards a career in business.As Frank grows older, he becomes increasingly disillusioned with his family's values and the society in which he lives. He begins to question the morality of the wealthy elite and to feel a deep sense of empathy for the poor and oppressed.The novel explores themes of class, morality, and the nature of human identity. It is a thought-provoking and engaging read that will appeal to fans of Victorian literature and social commentary.They glanced nervously right and left every minute in haste, but returned after each excursion straight to Guy and Cyril. The Colonel noted narrowly all they said and did; and Elma was sure he was very much pleased at least with her painter. How could he fail to be, indeed?--for Mr. Waring was charming. Elma wished she could have strolled off with him about the lawn alone, were it only ten paces in front of her mother. But somehow the fates that day were unpropitious. The party held together as by some magnetic bond, and Mrs. Clifford's eye never for one moment deserted her.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
