The Roebury Club It has been said that George Vavasor had a little establishment at Roebury, down in Oxfordshire, and thither he betook himself about the middle of November.

He had been long known in this county, and whether or no men spoke well of him as a man of business in London, men spoke well of him down there, as one who knew how to ride to hounds.

Not that Vavasor was popular among fellow-sportsmen.

It was quite otherwise.

He was not a man that made himself really popular in any social meetings of men.
