Book Description

Excerpt from Daniel Deronda, Vol. 1 She who raised these questions in Daniel Der onda's mind was occupied in gambling: not in the open air under a southern sky, tossing coppers on a ruined wall, with rags about her limbs; but in one of those splendid resorts which the enlighten ment of ages has prepared for the same species of pleasure at a heavy cost of gilt mouldings, dark toned colour and chubby nudities, all correspond ingly heavy forming a suitable condenser for human breath belonging, in great part, to the highest fashion, and not easily procurable to be breathed in elsewhere in the like proportion, at least by persons of little fashion.
