Excerpt from Gehenna or Havens of Unrest, Vol. 3 of 3As she remained a mystery who might break up at any minute, and stir up mud as she disappeared, she was one to be treated as a toy. The wife of Dyson Grove - nobody bothered about the master - was another mat ter. Those who ate strawberries and cream there - the ladies Adela and Gwendoline, my Lady Gumshoos and Lady Virginia Creeper, and all their set - oared not a fig about the Dysons, low, vulgar people who had made a fortune out of blacking or hair oil, and who might be enjoyed without being known; but when their own beloved Brunhilde showed that she meant to settle down, and laid claims to maintaining her place, the situation was altered. The jars of blacking and the bottles of hair oil must be kept well in the background. Never, under any circumstances, must one or the other he mentioned at the gatherings which the e'lite condescended to attend; yet it was well to be assured that they were there in their thousands unseen, but valuable - and that the cream in their vicinity ran no risk of curdling.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
