to make him a full package gentleman as he has none of wealth to achieve all the things he wanted like other peoples whom afforded to possessed all the prosperity. He was very much known by the peoples in town, kind of famous. Although he tried to build his name on business and some jobs to subsistence himself but it turns out that he always failed. Poor Hughie, he only got two hundred allowances per year from his old aunt. His late father leaves him with a cavalry sword and History of the Peninsular War album that he always holds on to. Without any fortune, he eventually falls in love with the daughter of a former colonel who was accounted on a war back in India. The name was Laura, and she admired him as well as he got the finest look, with grey eyes and brown hair, there were ready to get married until the father came with a word, to prepare himself with 10,000 pounds to propose her hands in marriage. That gets matters worse, Hughie had no idea where to gain the money even he tries many ways. One day, Hughie is on travel to Holland Park, he decided to make a stopover at one of his best friends places. Alan Trevor was a painter, and painters were very famous and almost inescapable by many peoples on that time. They know each other very well for many years, Hughie might come to his place as he likes. As Hughies visiting, Trevor was occupying on a picture themed of a mess beggar, seemed a lot just like Hughie. Trevor was delightful to see Hughie as he can be a good model for his painting. Trevor tells Hughie how much he can get with the job. While Hughie was not care being the beggar models he tells all the stories and problems he had to Trevor. Trevor understood and sympathized with the tales. As the paintings done Hughie make steps home. By the midnight while Hughies walking, he stopped by to a club for drinks; he eventually met Alan Trevor and asked about the painting. With glad tones Trevor told him the painting was requested by one of the richest men in Europe, Baron Hausberg. He requested for a beggar-looking that cons to the real him. Trevor told the rich men the true story of the model behind the painting. The Baron offers 10,000 euros to buy the painting and interested to know more about Hughie Erskine, poor young men with sole problems. Hughie doesnt believe that the painting of him worth that much of euros. After a while Hughie went home with crossing in his minds.
