"Mr. Cooper describes the Hon. Richard Francis Milner Escott as 'a phenomenally wicked person.' When he wrote letters to his sire, who was Lord Stratton, and asked for money to pay his gambling debts, his way of addressing his respectable father was, 'Dear F.' The Hon. Richard had four children, and he did his best to ruin them."--Www.nytimes.com
