Excerpt from Her Ladyships Conscience "And now, my dear Esther," said the Duchess, throwing off her furs and sinking down into an easy chair; "tell me exactly what sort of a man he is, and whether you and Mamma like him. I'm simply dying to know; and so is Tammy, if he would only tell the truth; but being a man he pretends he isn't, and sends me to collect news for him, just as if we were lions and jackals instead of husbands and wives." Lady Esther Wyvern paused for a moment. Unlike her elder sister, she was one of those rare women who always think before they speak. Then she replied slowly: "Yes, I like him; I decidedly like him, and I think Mamma does, too. But he isn't a bit our sort, you know." The Duchess nodded. "Probably not: but he'll be none the worse for that! Though Mamma will think he is," she added as an afterthought. "Now proceed to describe him." "Well, in the first place he isn't at all good-looking," Lady Esther began. "Then he is our sort. None of the Wyverns ever are good-looking. I always think we are a remarkably plain family." "Oh, Eleanor! how can you say such things?" Lady Esther looked distinctly hurt. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
