Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Splendid Sin
It's a lovely View, Mrs. Egremont said, with her eyes on the Himmelberg. Sir Emilius Rawson looked up sharply and surveyed it in a critical mood through his glasses. He did not wish to commit himself. He gave the scene a searching glance, as if it were a doubtful patient, before he ventured upon his diagnosis. Yes, it isa lovely view, he admitted at last, after scanning it all over. He made the admission with an air of curious candor, begotten of the habit of seldom grant ing anything, lest he should afterwards be con victed of possible error. It is a lovely view And he peered up and down, like one who ex pects to find some dangerous symptom lurking unobserved in some obscure corner.
