Excerpt from The Twelfth Hour

Upon which invitation he entered the room with a firm step.

Oh, it's you, Savile darling. I am glad to see you! Dear pet! Come and tell me all about every thing - papa and the party - and, look out, dear, don't tread on my dresses! Give Mr. Crofton a chair, Everett. Even you mustn't sit down on a perfectly new hat.

Rese�a del editor

Excerpt from The Twelfth Hour

Felicity was a lovely little blonde creature about twenty-ﬂ ve years old, dressed in a ﬂoating Watteau like garment of vaporous blue, painted with faded pink roses. She was seated in a large carved and gilded chair, opposite an excessively louis-quinze mirror, while her pale golden hair was being brushed out by a brown, inanimate-looking maid. Her little oval face, with its soft cloudy hair growing low on the forehead, long blue eyes, and rosebud mouth, had something of the romantic improbability of an eighteenth-century miniature. From the age of two Felicity had been an acknowledged beauty. She profited by her grasp of this fact merely by being more frank than most charming people, and more natural than most disagreeable ones. \vith little self-consciousness, she took a cool sportsmanlike pleasure in the effect she produced, and perhaps enjoyed the envy and admiration she had excited in her perambulator in Kensington Gardens almost as much as her more showy successes in later life.
