Book Description

Excerpt from The Playgoer and Society, Vol. 4: Illustrated With Which Is Incorporated "the Thratre"; A Monthly Magazine of the Drama, Fashion, and Society All around could be seen the tree-tops, the blue sky peeping through the branches, while the incessant twitter of the birds carried the mind above the earth to their own domains. The retreat was alone with Nature. Here in the warm summer afternoons Lady Patricia was wont to sit, robed in a dress of shimmering gold, reading poetry, sighing to the clouds, communing with Nature. In the evenings she would recline in her chair, listen to the nightingales, and quote Swinburne to the stars, while the Chinese lanterns hanging from the branches went out_ as regularly as Chinese lanterns do.
