Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Faces for Fortunes, Vol. 3 of 3
Once, and once only, at the Austrian ambassa dor's state reception, be imagined that he had dis covered his ideal of loveliness. After allowing a sensation closely resembling sudden death to pass away, he made inquiries and sought for an intro' duction. To his horror he learnt that the fair lady was married to a husband in good health and of a fiercely amorous disposition. This, joined to the discovery that the lady could only converse in the Hungarian language - a dialect with which he was thoroughly unacquainted, convinced him that he had better calm his mind and endeavour to imagine that the fair one would never have suited his constitution.
