If Sir Robert Perry really could not go on-and Lady Eynesford was by no means prepared to concede even that-then Mr. Puttock, bourgeois as he was, or Mr. Coxon, conceited and priggish though he might be, must come in. At any rate, the one indisputable fact was the impossibility of Mr. Medland: this was, to Lady Eynesford's mind, axiomatic, and, in the safe privacy of her family circle (for Miss Scaife counted as one of the family, and Captain Heseltine and Mr. Flemyng did not count at all), she went so far as to...

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...
