Excerpt from A Self-Made Countess: The Justification of a Husband The death of a father is socially more overwhelming than that of a mother. I never went to school, I believe it would have been better for me if I had done so, but my mother was a widow rather early in life, for I was only eleven years Old when my father died. He had held a high Official appointment which carried with it an income of several thousands a year, and my mother had never believed in schools, so that my elder sisters had a governess and I, though so much younger, had my lessons with her.

The Little Vanities of Mrs. Whittaker A Novel

Excerpt from The Little Vanities of Mrs. Whittaker: A Novel To begin my story properly, I must go back to the time when the Empress Eugenie had not started the vogue of the crinoline, when the Indian Mutiny had not stained the pages of history, and the Crimean War was as yet but a cloud the size of a man's hand on the horizon of the world - that is to say, to the very early fifties.
