This volume was published in 1893. Excerpt: CHAPTER I. The London season was at its height. The weather was wann and sultry, the days were at their longest. The shops were gay with beautiful dresses, richly trimmed bonnets, gloves, parasols, hats -- the thousand and one pretty articles of usefulness and beauty which are considered indispensable by the people who drive about in carriages and live in the large houses in the West End of London. The time was right, and the more important shops were shut, but the great houses in Grosvenor Square revelaed at this moment their fullest and most brilliant life, for this was the time when the great receptions of the season were given. Before one of the largest and most important of these mansions a small crowd had collected. It was the sort of crowd who are fond of getting peeps inside the lovely palaces which they must not enter. Rough looking boys, eager, pinched women, a few men, and even some babies were present. They jostled one another, and each in turn tried to force his or her way to the front rank. They made remarks freely with regard to the people who were going inside the house. The beautiful girl and richly dressed matrons called for their outspoken admira- tion. .............................................................................. L. T.
