Synopsis
Excerpt from Lady Rose's Daughter: A Novel
So saying - ou a February evening a good many years ago - an elderly gentleman, in evening dress, flung himself out of his cab, which had just stopped before a house in Bruton Street, and hastily went to meet a young man, who was at the same moment stepping out of another hansom, a little further down the pavement.
The pleasure in the older man's voice rang clear, and the younger met him with an equal cordiality, expressed perhaps through a manner more leisurely and restrained.
