Excerpt from Zaidee, Vol. 2 of 3: A Romance IN the front drawing-room are a group of ladies, some of them shawled and furred to the orthodox necessities of a London winter; some of them in careful morn ing-dress, expectant of visitors. The room is mode rately well-sized, with three tall windows, draped in drab-coloured damask, with shadowy white curtains within. Before one window is a broad low squab before another a little table bearing a vase of coloured glass, and a bouquet of Covent Garden flowers. Every thing here savours of town, and you could no more imagine these camellias and geraniums arranged by other hands than those of the professional\ bouquet-makers.
