A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Yes, that is a portrait of my wife. It is considered to be a good likeness. But of course she was older-looking towards the last. Enderby and I were on our way to the smoking-room after dinner, and the picture hung on the staircase. We had been chums at school a quarter of a century ago, and later on at college; but I had spent the last decade out of England. I returned to find my friend a widower of four years standing. And a good job too, I thought to myself when I heard of it, for I had no great liking for the late Gloriana. Probably the sentiment, or want of sentiment, I jad been mutual: she did not smile on me, but I doubt if she smiled on any of poorT om Enderby sbachelor cronies. The picture was certainly like her. She was a fine woman, with aquiline features and a cold eye.
