Excerpt from The Dark Tower Lady Staines heartily disliked both her daughters, and she appeared not to care very deeply for her sons, but of the three she had a decided preference for Winn. Winn h' l a wicked temper, an unshakable nerve, an' had inherited the strength of Sir Peter's n uscles and the sledge-hammer weight of Lady Staines's wit.
