"Laddie" Lucas, who was perhaps the handsomest lefthander ever to play the game and in later life a Member of Parliament.

...Fiona Cleary spends an extended lifetime being a "very unhappy woman" because of the married man she loved and lost in her youth. Daughter Meggie spends her life moping over her love for the devilishly handsome Ralph de Bricassart. One woman who sees him muses: "He's the handsomest chap I've ever seen! An archbishop, no less!" She cannot restrain herself from adding, "What a father you'd have made, Father!" Alas, Ralph is wedded to the Roman Catholic Church. He loves Meggie but he cannot throw away his vows.
