Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Parisian Romance: Un Roman Parisien
In addition to the merits we have just men tioned, Mademoiselle de latour-mesnil had the good luck to possess another, which it is impos sible for frail human nature to underrate: she was extremely pretty, and possessed the form and grace of a nymph, with the modest and retiring mien and blushes of a child. Her supe riority, of which she was only vaguely conscious, embarrassed her. She was at the same time proud and ashamed of it. When alone with her mother she was talkative and enthusiastic; in public she was as quiet and mute as a beautiful ?ower, but her magnificent eyes spoke for her.
