The Dolly Dialogues was first published in 1894, the same year as Hope's The Prisoner of Zenda. At once witty and wistful, it gives a wry glimpse of late-Victorian 'smart' society.

When Dolly marries the wealthy Lord Mickleham, Sam attempts to feign indifference. But as they meet at parties, in drawing-rooms and in public parks, Sam's studied cynicism and Dolly's dimpled coquetry fail to disguise the true depth of their feelings...
