Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bag and Baggage Papa was immensely proud of Ellen; and Ellen appeared a thing to merit papa´s pride in her. Though but turned nineteen, she possessed the wit and accomplishments of bright maturity. She played with precocious brilliancy, she was an inspired needlewoman, the light of her young vivacious intellect made glad the conventional dreariness of a commonplace house in a second-rate London Square - St. Charles´s, Ladbroke Grove Road, to wit. And Ellen was pretty and Ellen was good. She a little suggested a Botticelli Madonna. Though her smooth heavy hair was of a dim golden tint, an impression as of delicate silveriness, very frail and pure, was what one carried away from her. There was something there ethereal; her complexion made one think of a pure cloud ever so faintly rosed by morning; her blue eyes smiled half-misted. The one definite note of colour on her face´s comeliness lay in its brows, which were comparatively dark and beautifully modelled. Unaffected, admirable, blithe, Ellen was widowed papa´s one treasure, his passion and solace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
