text_original: In a spot whose beauty might well be expected to have only a softening influence, whose memories might at least be found exalting, a handful of disreputable men gathered together to degrade the place, and, as far as that was possible, themselves, with the beastly pleasures and beastly humors of the ingrained blackguard. The Hell Fire Club was dead and gone, but the spirit of the Hell Fire Club was alive and active.
