The Two Carnations

The Two Carnations is a fast-paced historical romance between a young Frenchman and his long-held amour, Mademoiselle Ursula Brent as they cross paths at a party. Excerpt: «For Mademoiselle Ursula Brent. Mademoiselle,—Will you be my wife? Will you at least give me an answer to this question that you must know I have been in vain attempting to put to you for the last month? Your brother and his friend, Mr. Wedderburn, have hitherto successfully thwarted me; when I wait on you, you have company; when I meet you at Vauxhall you never are a moment alone—at the reception and the concert it is the same.»
