Strana 44 - She had read of such people in novels, and liked to read of them, but she did not believe that such agreeable pictures could be drawn from real life. She naively supposed that every one was uncomfortable at home. Lady Ponsonby at her receptions always sat in a fauteuil on that side of the fire-place which allowed her to see her guests enter.
