Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Arrows of the Almighty When, in the year 182-, Madame Crofton plunged Baltimore society into a furor by the announcement of a fancy-dress ball which, it was rumored, would eclipse in splendor all similar functions in the annals of the historic city, Emily Orkney, then an orphan of sixteen and the ward of a bachelor uncle, astounded her easy going guardian by announcing one morning that she had made up her mind to attend. "God bless my soul!" exclaimed Colonel Pickstaff, dropping his eye-glasses, "is the child utterly out of her head?" "No, uncle," said a very sweet and very imperious voice, "not utterly - and I am not a child, I am six teen," and she gave a toss of her head that sent the blue-black curls whirling across her cheeks. "I have put my foot down - there! do you see? I shall go; so say no more, and bring me my invitation to-night." The veteran of the late war looked about him helplessly. "And will your highness condescend to tell me," he said tartly, "what has put this ridiculous idea into your head?" The girl established herself on the arm of an opposite chair, clasping her hands over one knee and laughing down at his perplexity, but with a pout that refused all other answer.
