"I acquired a wife today in the mar-
ketplace. I told you I did some shop-
ping. 1 bid twenty-one guineas for
her . "
It was not out of love or lust that
Daniel Warwyck, a dashing prize-
fighter, had bought Kate Farringdon in
the market at Brighton that warm July
dav in 1826. Nor was it to spite his
younger brother, who had also bid for
Kate s hand. Daniel Warwyck was buy-
ing respectability; he hoped marriage
would reinstate him as heir to Warwyck
Manor and the fortune that his ungen-
tlemanly protession had cost him.
But even marriage to as fine a girl as
Kate Farringdon was a thin mask for
respectability when Warwyck con-
tinued to defy convention by refusing
to leave the ring--and by insulting his
wife with open infidelities.
