The Confessions Of A Frivolous Girl PDF Download

Excerpt from The Confessions of a Frivolous Girl: A Story of Fashioable Life "The carriage has been at the door twenty minutes, Alice. Are you never coming?" It was dear Papa's voice reverberating up from the regions below; and I, a timid debutante, on the eve of my first ball, surrounded by Mamma, two of my aunts, and three female attendants, was standing before my mirror, giving the finishing touches to a toilette, the duration of which had severely taxed my patience. My hand, trembling with excitement, gave one final pat to the delicate curve of water-waves that fringed my brow, - classic, I believe; at least, I have been told so, - and my maid approached to lay over my bare arms and shoulders the conventional fleecy cloak. My dress was from Paris, - a simple white tulle, the overskirt trimmed with artificial flowers. A single red rose in my dark brown hair; that was all.
