Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Duke Jones Jones, - E. M. Jones, according to the hotel books, - was the name of the man who broke upon the consciousness of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Shovell in the last half of their honeymoon: who filled their whole horizon with a rapidity quite inexplicable to those who were unacquainted with the peculiarities of this young couple; and who became forthwith the central figure of so much unnecessary curiosity, airy conjecture, analytical discussion, and emphatic dissension between them, that even their best friends would have trembled for the future if they had overheard some of it. But nobody overheard; for Mrs. Charles was exquisitely careful of people´s feelings always, and imposed a like discretion, so far as was possible; on her husband. Jones, the new objective in both their lives, was really Violet´s discovery, since he chanced to sit next her at table-d´hote; but so cleverly transferred to Charles, that he continued to think Jones his own protege from first to last, and barely felt the first stirring of jealousy, so far as his wife was concerned. It would, indeed, have been hard for any gentleman, even newly-wedded, to be jealous of Jones in any circumstances, he was so intensely uninteresting. He had absolutely no distinguishing features, and would have baffled the most practised novelist, or detective, to describe.
