Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Wingless Victory
What comes over me, said Tryphena, is that a maid like you should ha' been found to commit matrimony with 'en. Whiskers and that, like a day-cat that's been after cream, and you not such a bad-looking maid after all. When you don't dress up a proper old fright. But, protested Mrs. Borlace, he shaved 03 the whiskers before he proposed. It isn't so much, answered Tryphena, dogmatically, what a man is that matters; it's the way you happen to see fen. N ow, I never think of Dr. Borlace but what I see whiskers, though there mayn't be none to his face at the minute. But there, 'twas written down above against your name, Dr. Anthony Borlace, and no maid can go against that.
