Excerpt from Fanny Lambert: A Novel
He was an orphan blessed with a small competency. His Income, to use his own formula, consisted Of a hundred a year and an uncle. During the first four months or so Of the year he spent the hundred pounds, during the rest Of the year he squandered his uncle that is to say he would have squandered him only for the fact that Mr James Hancock, Of the firm of Hancock Hancock, solicitors, was a person most difficult to negotiate.
Art, however, was looking up. He had sold several pictures lately. The morning mists on the road to success were clearing away, leaving to the view in a prospect distant tremulous and golden the mysterious city Of attainment.
He would have whistled as he worked only that he was smoking.
Through the Open windows came the pulse like sound Of the omnibuses in the King's Road, the sleigh bells of the hansoms, the rattle Of the coster's barrow, and voices.
As he painted, the sounds outside brought before him the vision of the King's Road, Chelsea, where flaming june was also at work with her golden brush and palette Of violet colours.

Excerpt from Fanny Lambert: A Novel
"You may take away the things, Belinda," said Mr Leavesley, lighting his pipe and taking his seat at the easel. "Nobody called this morning, I suppose?"
"Only the Capting, sir," replied Belinda, piling the tray. "He called at seven to borry your umbrella."
"Did you give it him?"
"No, sir, Mr Verneede's got it; you lent it to him the night before last, and he hasn't brought it back."

Their idea is for Fanny to approach Bevanâs solicitor and plead their case directly. The author presents the reader with the ensuing high-stakes confrontation, providing a fascinating insight into social class and gender politics of the Victorian legal system.
