Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Bourbon Lilies: A Story of Artist Life
Van shook his head hopelessly, and his cosmo politan questioner next addressed him in a, to Van, utterly incomprehensible language, which he fancied Portuguese, if indeed it were not Arabic, or perhaps it might be modern Greek. It turned out to be Russian, and the gentleman's native tongue; but poor Van would probably never have known this if the next attempt at conversation had not been couched in perfect English.
