Présentation de l'éditeur
Red-H eaded Gill GHAPTER I MR. TREHANNA, I want to introduce you to Lady Branscombel Lady Branscombe, here is a fellow countryman of ours, who has been through all the war in the Soudan, and I dont know where besides. A hl Graf Eanski; how do you do? and the hostess of the evening turned away, and left the two people thus presented to improve each others acquaintance. It was a crowded reception night at the British Embassy, for his Excellency, H.M. s Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, was very popular, and his salon attractive. The lights were brilliant, and reflected in every comer by bejeweled Hungarians. AU vely waltz was going on in an adjoining room, and the soimds formed a musical background to the fercible Wiener Deutsch echoing on all sides. Lady Branscombe, in diaphanous and effective black, created a charming contrast to the many-colored crowd.
