Publisher's Synopsis
(LARGE PRINT EDITION) 1899. With an Introduction by Andrew Lang. Lever, Anglo-Irish novelist of the nineteenth-century, wrote 30 novels and five volumes of short stories and essays. This volume begins: It was exactly forty-five years ago that a group, consisting of three persons, drew their chairs around the fire of a handsome dinner-room in Merrion Square, Dublin. The brilliantly lighted apartment, the table still cumbered with decanters and dessert, and the sideboard resplendent with a gorgeous service of plate, showed that the preparations had been made for a much larger party, the last of whom had just taken his departure.
