Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Three Romances
Three or four young men puffed away at their cigars as they walked up and down the quarter-deck, and eagerly noted the ever changing panorama which was passing before their enchanted eyes. It was evident that these young men were artists, judging by their straw hats, their sack coats ornamented with huge horn buttons, and their wide duck trousers, without taking into consideration the fact that they wore their moustaches d la Van Dyck, and their hair either curled d la Rubens or cut straight d la Paul Veronese.
