Synopsis

Cicely Yeovil sat in a low swing chair, alternately looking at herself in a mirror and at the other occupant of the room in the flesh. Both prospects gave her undisguised satisfaction. Without being vain she was duly appreciative of good looks, whether in herself or in another, and the reflection that she saw in the mirror, and the young man whom she saw seated at the piano, would have come with credit out of a more severely critical inspection.

A propos du livre

About the Author :

About the Author Hector Hugh Munro (1870 – 1916), known by the pen names Saki or H. H. Munro, was a British writer whose witty stories satirized Edwardian society. He is sometimes compared to O. Henry and his influences include Oscar Wilde, Lewis Carroll and Rudyard Kipling. His own writing influenced A. A. Milne, Noël Coward and P. G. Wodehouse. He wrote a play, "The Watched Pot", in collaboration with Charles Maude and a historical study, "The Rise of the Russian Empire", the only book published under his own name. "When William Came", subtitled "A Story of London Under the Hohenzollerns" is a fantasy about a future German invasion and occupation of Britain.
