Excerpt from Lovice Lady rosemary, who for the past five minutes has been making but a very poor pretence at reading a book, now lets it drop softly on to the pale Violet cush ions at her elbow. Her young, fair, and charming countenance is conscious of disturbance. She looks uncertainly towards the Open window opposite, where her sister - a replica of herself, but, as she most honestly acknowledges, one more delicately painted - is sitting half in and half out of it, with her beauti ful head leaning against the framework. Lovice is not even making a pretence at reading. She is gazing idly on the exquisite summer scene before her, and is swaying her feet, that almost reach the verandah below, to and fro. Lady Rosemary, encouraged by this idleness, bends towards her. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
