This Is A New Release Of The Original 1900 Edition.
1900. This volume presents the author of Isabel Carnaby and The
Farringdons in a new light as the mistress of the art of
storytelling according to the French rather than the English
school. A situation, an incident full of significance beneath the
surface, a contrast, becomes in her hands a theme for a charming
little tale which may move the reader to real emotion, or to
delight in the writer's humor. See other titles by this author
available from Kessinger Publishing.
Gwynneth burst into tears. Though a very intelligent woman, she was
not a wise one, and she had no smattering of the art of managing a
man. Mrs. Frisby, old as she was, could have given her points on
this score, and still have won in the competition; for the
excellent Caroline had never been handsome enough to rise superior
to feminine wiles. Gwynneth, on the contrary, was so good looking,
that as a rule she did not require to manage men at all: a glance
from her lovely eyes was generally enough to bring into immediate
submission the most unruly of them. But in cases such as the
present one, when her beauty was not enough to win the battle
unaided, she had no reserve force of worldly wisdom to call to the
front.
