Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from My Neighbor Raymond, Vol. 1
Why don't you take care, monsieur? - you are very awkward, said a low, sweet voice, which anger even had not deprived of its charm.
I have always had a weakness for agreeable voices, and quickly descending from the ethereal regions, whither I had mounted only for lack of something better to do, I looked at the person who had addressed me. It was a young girl of from sixteen to eighteen years of age, who was attired in a little cap tied under the chin and a neat gown of cotton print, as well as a modest apron of black bombazine - all of which gave her the appearance of a little working girl who was coming from her day's work and returning home. Quickly I looked at her face; my word, it was charming eyes lively and mischievous, a small nose, beauti ful teeth, black hair, an agreeable expression of countenance and a certain grace of bearing. I must confess that I had seen nothing so charming in the moon.
