Excerpt from The Circus-Rider's Daughter
On a sofa in one of the most elegant apartments in the "Imperial Hotel" at Geneva a young woman reclined who, although not strictly beautiful, presented a charming picture as she lay there, her head enveloped in a black lace veil, from which her flaxen locks fell in heavy masses on the scarlet cushion, while her hands gracefully rested in her lap.
Everything about her seemed so frail that involuntarily one shrank from such delicacy, which, with persons as with things, seems, alas! to bloom only to die.
Her extreme quiet was evidently compulsory from weakness, for at the slightest noise her quick gaze wandered impatiently to a small travelling clock which stood on the table near the sofa. As the hands of the timepiece gradually advanced she could no longer repress her restlessness, and, half rising, she called to an old woman whose stout figure was often visible passing the door. "Annie," and, notwithstanding the effort she made, the voice was hardly audible - "Annie, is Miss Nora not yet returned?"
