Description
Excerpt from A Moment of Madness, Vol. 1 of 3: And Other Stories
Dresden china are placed in everybody''s way, and a powerful Odour of hot-house ?owers pervades the apartment. A double knock sounds at the door, and the Honour able Mrs carnaby-hicks starts from the dose into which she has-fallen, and seiz ing a novel, sits upright, and pretends that she is deep in its contents. But she need not have been so punctilious, for the foot man, throwing open the door, announces her brother, Mr Tresham. Roland enters the room, looking fagged, dusty, and out Of sorts, a complete contrast to the dainty adornments of his sister''s drawing-room.
