Loÿs, Lord Berresford: And Other Tales (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Loÿs, Lord Berresford: And Other Tales
Besides her loveliness, Theo has particularly fascin ating manners, a curious mixture of childishness and wisdom, self-possession and extreme shyness - a com bination which in her case is generally acknowledged to be most infinitely bewitching; she has also a rather coquettish manner of raising her eyes to those of any of her admirers with an expression in them, half pleading and half frightened, that does considerable execution in more ways than one, taking the poor victims' hearts by storm, and otherwise committing fearful havoc in the most innocent manner possible. In fact, there is little use in denying or concealing any longer that Theo is a confirmed flirt, not so much per haps from practice as from nature.
She is also rather passionate and perverse, with the strongest inclination in the world to gain her own point, and has coaxed and tormented and frightened everybody from her birth upwards into granting her that point, until she has at length become both the terror and admiration of every soul in the establish ment, from Sir John himself down to the lowest stable boy.
