Visit us online at www.1stWorldLibrary.ORG - - An appalling crash, piercing shrieks, a loud, unequal quarrel on a staircase, the sharp bang of a door.... Edith started up from her restful corner on the blue sofa by the fire, where she had been thinking about her guest, and rushed to the door. 'Archie - chie! Come here directly! What's that noise?' A boy of ten came calmly into the room. 'It wasn't me that made the noise,' he said, 'it was Madame Frabelle.' His mother looked at him. He was a handsome, fair boy with clear grey eyes that looked you straight in the face without telling you anything at all, long eyelashes that softened, but gave a sly humour to his glance, a round face, a very large forehead, and smooth straw-coloured hair. Already at this early age he had the expressionless reserve of the public school where he was to be sent, with something of the suave superiority of the university for which he was intended. Edith thought he inherited both of these traits from her.

Autorenporträt
Ada Esther Leverson was a British novelist and writer born on October 10, 1862, in Beddington, United Kingdom. She was best known for her wit and keen observations of society, which she skillfully weaved into her novels. Leverson's works often explore the complexities of love, relationships, and the social dynamics of the time. Her novels, such as Love's Shadow (1908) and Tenterhooks (1912), focus on romantic entanglements, personal dilemmas, and the intricacies of societal expectations. Her writing is marked by a light, witty tone, yet often subtly critiques the conventions of the upper classes. She was married to Ernest Leverson and was the daughter of Samuel Henry Beddington. Ada Leverson's literary career, while successful in her time, is perhaps most remembered for her contribution to the genre of the British social novel. She passed away on August 30, 1933, in Florence, Italy, at the age of 70. Despite a more subdued recognition today, her work remains appreciated for its deft portrayal of social mores and relationships during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
