Balfort's Life and Times

Balfort's public personality was of an aloof languid, polished individual. It is not easy to work out what this elusive figure truly felt about may littleton. Her family believed he made a proposal of marriage to her and spent his life in mourning for her. But there are some facts that do not quite fit this picture. Balthor may have loved may deeply, but there 's no firm evidence he proposed marriage to her. In a letter to mary constance wyndham, later lady elco, he wrote, whether i have time for love or not, i certainly have no time for matrimony.
