Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 58: July to December, 1894At no time had Giovanna been a loquacious woman, and it was not likely that she would willingly allow the people among whom She now mixed to discover how terribly ignorant she was about many of the subjects on which they talked so glibly. She had naturally good manners, and had been well trained by her English mother as long as that mother had lived, besides which she had excellent taste in dress, all of which' told in her favour. But, when it became a question of something ibeyond manners and dress, Giovanna knew that, for her own credit's sake, her part in the social comedy must to all intents and purposes be a silent one. Her place was to listen to everybody with smiling courtesy, and to look as if She felt an intelligent interest in all that was talked about, but to say as little as possible in return and, above all, unless driven into a corner, never to originate any proposition of her own.It was precisely here that she found Mrs. Tew so invaluable. That lady proved herself a person Of infinite tact and resource. Whenever there seemed a risk of Mrs. Clare being drawn into a conversation about matters concerning which, as the canon's widow surmised, she was probably more or less ignorant, she, Mrs. Tew, came boldly to her rescue, and by means of some apposite remark or pertinent question, addressed directly to some other person in the company, contrived to attract the current of talk to herself, or else to deflect it into some less dangerous channel.Giovanna was sufficiently clear-sighted to see through Mrs. Tew's object, and was proportionately grateful; not being like some Of her sex, who would have been more than annoyed at finding that their paid dependent had taken upon herself to gauge their ignorance, and had had the impertinence to assume that their educational acquire ments were not on a par with those Of the people with whom, for anything the said dependent was supposed to know to the contrary, they had been in the habit of mixing from youth upward. But what ever her faults in other directions might be, Giovanna had no false pride about her, and was not afflicted with any deficiency of common-sense.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 53: January to June, 1892I went up for honours, dear aunt, and gained them. SO I can afford myself a holiday. At which satisfactory information, Lady Pope vouchsafed nothing but an unsatisfactory grunt.The two gentlemen were speedily immersed in college politics, reminiscences to Sir Henry, realities to Arthur Ashley. Sir Henry had never gained university honours, had never tried for them, but he was delighted that Arthur, his presumptive heir, should do so. Sir Henry had been always childless, and this young man, his brother's eldest son, was the present heir to Ashley. Sir Henry had taken to him years ago, and brought him up as such.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 28: July to December, 1879Mrs. Bourne, with tears in her eyes, begged her to give them a few days first, that she might recruit after her journey; and the few days were now rapidly becoming many. Mr. Bourne had begun to growl privately about that good thing Of which it is possible to have too much but his wife always stopped his mouth with the piteous question: What was the poor dear to do - when, as she confessed, there was no roof under which she slept so well as theirs she who hardly slept at all, as a rule.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 24: July to December, 1877UR young artist, Alice Kerr, with Grace Pyne as her attendant, and Martin acting as courier, started for North Devon in a very different style from that in which she had commenced her journey to London, The journey itself was no less a contrast. She had no adventures, and met with no misfortunes, and her companions afforded her very little amusement. It had been her private wish to have Lucy Pyne instead of Grace, but this could not be gratified; and Grace, though attentive and respectful, was too silent and thought ful to be an interesting companion. Indeed, Alice held to her first opinion, that however good and industrious she might be, there was nothing interesting about her at all. Her dress was too respectable, her complexion too colourless, to be of the least use in a picture; and as for any romance being connected with one so demure and grave, it was simply absurd to think of it. The depths of tenderness and suffering that lay hidden beneath that plain exterior, Alice had not skill to discover. She little dreamed that all she had ever felt, or thought she felt, all her poetical theories on woman's love and patience under disheartening circumstances, were cold, indeed, com pared with poor Grace's experience Of the reality.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Argosy, Vol. 38: July to December, 1884Mary went one way and Godfrey another. He turned into one of the many rooms, unoccupied, whose window looked upon the thickly grown trees of the plantation. He stood watching the red glow, left by the sunset, between the dark boughs, until his reflections became too disagreeable to be borne.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
