Note: The Travellers' Club was not founded until 1819, which is after the time period of the story quoted below, so this could not actually be Lord Westonbury's club. However, it presented a possibility of what his fictional club might look like, and it has a library noted in the plan so it went with the fact that Wes is reading. :) (Yes, the scene in which this excerpt is found does take place in a gentlemen's club.)

“Do not tell me you are reading on a fine day instead of riding in the park, taking in the view.”
Lorcan Langley took the seat across from Wes.
“What book is it?” Wes’s long-time friend asked.
Wes chuckled. “You’ll think me daft.”
“Too late, my friend. Most of us already think you to be so.” Langley laughed and Wes joined him.
There was a certain delightful something which could be found in being unpredictable on occasions. It kept one’s friends, as well as one’s mother, on their toes.
