Garrick's Pupil (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Garrick's Pupil
Just as the third hour of the afternoon had sounded from the belfry of Saint Martin's-in the-fields, a hackney coach drew up before the most pretentious mansion upon the west side of Leicester Fields; and while the Coachman has tened to agitate the heavy door-knocker, a young woman, almost a child, sprang out upon the pavement without waiting to have the shaky steps unfolded and lowered for her convenience. Her dust-colored mantle, disarranged by her rapid movements, revealed a rich costume beneath; while the dazzled passer-by might have caught a glimpse, amidst the whiteness of the elevated skirts, of a tiny pair of red satin slippers and two slender, exquisitely moulded ankles finely clad in silken hose with embroidered clocks.
The girl turned and assisted a more aged woman, leaning upon a crutch-headed cane, to descend. This lady wore the big straw bonnet and gray gown of the Quaker persuasion, a rigidly simple costume, which occasionally is becoming to extreme youth, but rarely enhances maturer charms.
