The Gaming Table by Andrew Steinmetz

 CHAPTER XII. page 31

Here (his emaciated figure rendered the more conspicuous from his
custom of holding a parasol over his head) he was in the habit of
watching every attractive female form, and ogling every pretty
face that met his eye. He is said, indeed, to have kept a pony
and a servant in constant readiness, in order to follow and
ascertain the residence of any fair girl whose attractions
particularly caught his fancy! At this period the old man was
deaf with one ear, blind with one eye, nearly toothless, and
labouring under multiplied infirmities. But the hideous
propensities of his prime still pursued him when all enjoyment
was impossible. Can there be a greater penalty for unbridled
licentiousness?
