Front matter
IN this companion volume to that happy mixture of fact and fancy “The J^adies ! ” the author centres each story around some romantic mas¬ culine figure: the first, “The King and the Lady,” harking back to the twelth century and Henry II, the beloved of haughty Eleanor of Aquitaine and of Fair Rosamond. Other subjects are “Saucy Jack”
Harington, the godson of Queen Elizabeth; the beau¬ tiful and ill-fated Duke of Monmouth; Henry Thrale ; Admiral Nelson ; the Prince of Wales who later became King George IV; Sir Peter Teazle. Always in character with time, place, and person, always vivid and sympathetic, E. Barrington brings each by¬ gone century to our finger¬ tips and fills its stage with living figures.
