Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Prince Saroni´s Wife: And the Pearl-Shell Necklace The prince, when I first had the honor of knowing him, was a young man of about twenty-seven or eight; a thorough Italian in nature and aspect, though he spoke correct English, and was accustomed to foreign manners and men. His face, when you examined it, was undeniably handsome; but the type was so different from our Anglo-Saxon traditions of masculine beauty, that I fancy he usually produced the impression of something bizarre and noticeable, rather than of classic comeliness, on the ordinary beholder. I recollect his being presented, on one occasion, to one of the reigning beauties of the London season, a young lady who was certainly not deficient in familiarity with the ways and looks of the average male social animal; but she turned pale as her eyes fell upon him, responded to his courteous advances incoherently and with manifest nervousness, and, within a few minutes, began to laugh hysterically, and had to be taken to her carriage. So far as I have ever been able to find out, the poor prince was not in the least to blame, and he was unquestionably not a little distressed by the incident. But Mrs. Fulvia, whenever his name was mentioned to her afterward, would shudder and turn away her lovely head.
