Sir Alexander Heathcote was an exact man throughout his life. He led a disciplined life and rose from one position to another. He started his career from a shared desk job at the Foreign Office to finally being the minister in Peking. He had a great interest in art and history and was a lover of collecting artifacts. Sir Alexander was a man of words which was seen when he repaid the generosity of the old craftsman within one calendar year. He lived a comfortable life where he was respected for who he was. On the other hand, Alex Heathcote was quite a foil to Alexander Heathcote. He lived a reckless life and was selfish and self-centered. He gambled his entire wealth and whiled away his time. His mother spoiled him to such an extent that he never worked but only gambled away to his heart’s content. He fell into a great debt and unable to overcome it, sold the family heirloom.
