The time, an hour after sunset, on a quiet September night; the place, a lace-curtained, bay window that looked out on a grassy lawn, where a round foot-path circled between the two spreading horse-chestnuts; propria persona, a dream-eyed, carnation-cheeked girl, in all the bloom of early womanhood, whose name was Florice Beryl, and a man, young, handsome, and just then very much in earnest; and his name was Laurian-Laurian Cavendish, only son of the wealth woman for whom pretty, winsome Florice was giving her time and patience in return for three hundred a year and board. |
