A man meets Richard Ashton while living a life of leisure and socializing, but Ashton's moral downfall led him to choose unsavory companions.
I came across a peculiar story in a novel where the character Ginsling encountered Richard Ashton, who was facing difficulty choosing his associates. This experience happened while Ginsling was a gentleman lounger in town. Despite Ginsling's moral depravity and lack of noble instincts, he displayed intelligence, had an eye-catching persona and pleasing address. However, it was apparent that his character flaws held him back from achieving his full potential in society.
