Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Lady Paramount On the twenty-second anniversary of Susanna´s birth, old Commendatore Fregi, her guardian, whose charge, by the provisions of her father´s will, on that day terminated, gave a festa in her honour at his villa in Vallanza. Cannon had been fired in the morning: two-and-twenty salvoes, if you please, though Susanna had protested that this was false heraldry, and that it advertised her, into the bargain, for an old maid. In the afternoon there had been a regatta. Seven tiny sailing-boats, monotypes, - the entire fleet, indeed, of the Reale Yacht Club d´Ilaria - had described a triangle in the bay, with Vallanza, Presa, and Veno as its points; and I need n´t tell anyone who knows the island of Sampaolo that the Marchese Baldo del Ponte´s Mermaid, English name and all, had come home easily the first. Then, in the evening, there was a dinner, followed by a ball, and fire-works in the garden. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
