Book Description
Excerpt from A Virginia Cousin, and Bar Harbor Tales As he cantered along the equestrian byways of the Park, and felt, without noting, the stir of new life in nature, he grew light of heart and buoyant. And as this condition increased, his thoughts crys tallized around the image of Katherine Ainger. She, too, loved her morning ride; no doubt he should meet her presently. He had not seen her since Thursday of last week, when he had taken her in to dinner at Mrs. Cartwright's; and he had a vague idea she had resented him a little on that occasion. Her talk had been a trifle baflling, her eyes evasive. But she had worn a stunning gown, and was by all odds the best-looking woman of the lot. How well she sat at table, by the way! What an admirable figure for a man who would be forced to entertain, to place at the head of his board in perpetuity!

A Virginia Cousin, & Bar Harbor Tales
Author: Burton Mrs. Harrison
Publisher: DigiCat
ISBN:
Category : Fiction

Pages : 100
Book Description
This is an absorbing work by Mrs. Burton Harrison, an American playwright, and novelist. She tells a story of her and two of her cousins, known as the "Cary Invincibles." The three sewed the first examples of the Confederate Battle Flag. Excerpt "The little story "A Virginia Cousin," here put into print for the first time, is in some sort a tribute offered by a long-exiled child of the South to her native soil. It is also a transcript of certain phases of that life in the metropolis which has been pooh-poohed by some critics as trivially undeserving of a chronicler, but fortunate hitherto in finding a few readers willing to concede as much humanity to the "heroine in satin" as to the "confidante in linen.""
