Opis: My Lady April (Classic Reprint) - Overton John

Excerpt from My Lady April

Clad in yellow linen drawers and jacket, and up to his armpits in the steaming waters of the King's Bath, Sir George Forrest hooked his wrist through an iron ring in the wall, and yawned with no attempt to disguise his boredom.

Beaux, almost unrecognizable in the hideous costume that custom demanded, lounged through the water, cropped heads tied in silk kerchiefs or crowned with the fashionable tricorn. Belles, halfhid beneath chip hats, controlled their water-logged dresses with some difficulty and kept watchful eyes upon the little wooden trays that bobbed in front of them, precariously carrying handkerchief, patch-box and nosegay.

Habitues idled at the windows of the Pump-Room and the air was full of shouted conversation; sally and repartee; compliment and laughing banter.
