Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from No Rose Without a Thorn and Other Tales I do not say that there is no mystery, no deep plot, connected with No. 19; but all I wish to mention, at present, is, that Mr. Blythe Byrton was a handsome Italian-looking man, with dark, piercing eyes, and that his wife - no, I do not wish to make any mystery about it - she was his wife - I will admit that at once - his wife, I repeat, was as sweet-looking a lady as any that you or I have ever seen; which may be saying too much or too little, but which, in my opinion, is just enough, and no more, to enable the reader to conclude that Mr. and Mrs. Blythe Byrton were a remarkably good-looking couple. But what are good looks without happiness? Were they unhappy, then? No, they were not. On the contrary, speaking in a general way, decidedly happy. They had not been long married, it is true, but quite long enough to have been miserable, had not their tempers been equal to their circumstances, which were, as the expression goes, "comfortable." "But, don´t tell me," as the lady at No. 18 said to her friend Miss Mitton, a severe spinster of forty-five, "don´t tell me that a dark-looking man like that can be anything but jealous, and horridly jealous, too." So the lady at No. 18 kept on the watch for something to turn up which should prove the correctness of her theory as to Italian-looking men. Weeks passed, and nothing happened. Yes, something. Apparently of no sort of importance to anyone except the lynx-eyed matron of No. 18. And this was it. Lynville Place lay exactly opposite Chetwick Gardens.
