Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Farnorth, Vol. 1 of 3 Eighteen years ago! King Midas reigned, though slightly tottering on his throne, and Countess Lola scattered terror in the breasts of Jesuits. Where are they now, these two last, the Steam King and the Comtesse de la Cirque? Poor dethroned monarch of Scrip! Is there anything of Midas left you, but the ears? I fear me not. And the beautiful sinner, who set society at defiance, and for the sake of whose black-lashed violet eyes a doting king gave up his crown: where is she? Dead, your worships. Grim paralysis and penitence laid her prostrate in her prime. The rising generation know nothing of Lola, and ´tis just as well they do not. Eighteen years have wrought some changes in you and me, dear middle-aged reader. The halcyon days, when our whiskers were beyond suspicion, and not a button of our waistcoats overtasked, are over. Wisdom has set in with our wrinkles; though faith in earthly things may have vanished in company with our teeth and hair. We have had our sorrows; we have buried many bright hopes, beautiful beings, healthy enough to all seeming, but sickening and dying notwithstanding. We have had our joys perhaps.
