Opis: Walter Goring - Thomas Annie

Excerpt from Walter Goring: A Story

They were the children of twin sisters - the lovely hostess and her handsome guest - and they had been brought up together as brother and sister, which fact must be accepted in extenuation of any peculiar interest either may display for the other in the course of this story.

Moreover, in addition to having been brought up together on terms of fraternal intimacy, they had, when arrived at years of discretion, sunk the fraternity for a time, and fallen in love with one another. Their passion had not prospered; that is to say, the lady had taken fright at matrimony on nothing a year, and had released her cousin-lover with a great deal of affected magnanimity and real affection.

She had been Horatia Leslie in the days of this exhibition of feminine devotion, and shortly after it she had married a Mr Walsh, an elderly gentleman, who was a merchant by profession and an artist by taste. His perfect cultivation of the latter quality had induced him to select Horatia Leslie for his wife, and the selection did him credit.

She was a grand-looking woman - air and large, but not tall. A woman with a wealth of golden hair and a pair of naughty blue eyes, and a manner that absorbed a great deal of attention, and seemed to expect it.
