A Child Of The Orient Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Lost Countess Falka: A Story of the Orient "Fideles Wien!" sighed Colonel Soltykoff of the Paul Regiment. "When shall I see you again?" He turned, heavy-hearted, to rejoin his friend Fraser Denton, who was gazing spellbound from the entrance of the foyer, at the opera box they had just quitted. It was a Lohengrin night, and the perfumed air trembled still with the delicious vibrations of the "Schwannenlied." "All that's best of dark and bright!" murmured Denton, as the handsome Russian paused for a moment at his side. "She is certainly the handsomest woman in Europe!" cried the tall Muscovite, his fingers, gemmed with turquoise luck rings, tugging at his tawny mustache. "Which one. Serge? Mother or daughter?" replied Denton, witii a backward glance at the box where, that golden young beauty, Countess Ilma Falka, shone out beside the peerless Grafin Magda.
