Excerpt from A Waking, Vol. 1 of 3

Zina was not so popular as her father, but every one admitted that Stuart Newbolt had a Splendid coadjutor in his well-trained daughter, who presided at the head of the table, possessing that special knowledge which could make her society agreeable to literary or political men whenever She chose to exert herself, and who could on other occasions be not only discreet, but silent and enigmatical as the Sphinx, and beautiful as the room which was semi darkened and ﬂower-laden, with the balconies all ablaze with blossoms, shining in the westering sun -a medley of scents, colours, pictures, and china, in which the sights and sounds of London were effectually excluded.
