Synopsis
Excerpt from Angels, and Devils, and Man
She pictured the germ of genius under his mask-like exterior she saw him as the stoic philosopher who discarded all passions, and would not allow a wise man to pity the afflictions of another. His terse remarks, dry from lacking milk of human kindness, made an impression on her mind, much as short speeches or sentences of history rivet the reader more than the most laboured strokes in descriptive modern literature. It was com monly told of Lady Livingstone that she was the incarnation of selfishness. A society widow, long emerged from a brief period of mourning, she proved so pleasantly pleasure loving, so Openly selfish, that her faults were accepted as inseparable from her witty, effervescing personality.
She was known now to hold anti matrimonial views of a most decided nature, though confessedly straying on occasions dangerously near that trap for the simple gratification of sniffing at its bait.
