The Man Who Laughs Part II, Book the First, Chapter IV - The Leader of Fashion

In which we find Lord David Dirry-Moir, a daring nobleman who challenges the fashions and follies of London’s high society by abandoning his wig and embracing a vigorous, unrestrained life amidst both the aristocracy and the city's rabble. His passion for clubs, pugilism, and open-air spectacles paints a vivid picture of the restless and often mischievous amusements that enliven the age.
