And now, my dear Esther, said the Duchess, throwing off her furs and sinking down into an easychair; tell me exactly what sort of a man he is, and whether you and Mamma like him. Im simply dying to know; and so is Tammy, if he would only tell the truth; but being a man he pretends he isn t, and sends me to collect news for him, just as if we were lions and jackals instead of husbands and wives. Lady Esther Wyvern paused for a moment. Unlike her elder sister, she was one of those rare women who always think before they speak. Then she replied slowly: Yes, I like him; I decidedly like him, and I think Mamma does, too. But he isnt a bit our sort, you know. The Duchess nodded. Probably not: but hell be none the worse for that! Though Mamma will think he is, she added as an afterthought. Now proceed to describe him. Well, in the first place he isnt at all good-looking, Lady Esther began. Then he is our sort. None of the Wyverns ever are good-looking. I always think we are a remarkably plain family. Oh, Eleanor! how can you say such things? Lady Esther looked distinctly hurt.

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue.
