Synopsis
Excerpt from A Cathedral Courtship and Penelope's Eng Lish Experiences: With Illustrations by Clifford Carleton
We are not only in London again, but we are again in Smith's private hotel; one of those deliciously comfort able and ensnaring hostelries in Mayfair which one enters as a solvent human being, and which one leaves as a bankrupt, no matter what may be the number of ciphers on one's letter of credit; since the greater one's apparent supply of wealth, the greater the demand made upon it. I never step long in London without deter mining to give up my art for a private hotel. There must be millions in it, but I fear I lack some of the essential qualifications for success. I never could have the heart, for example, to charge a struggling young genius eight shillings a week for two candles, and then eight shillings the next week for the same two candles, which the struggling young genius, by dint of vigorous economy, had managed to preserve to a decent height. No, I could never do it, not even if I were certain that she would squander the sixteen shillings in Bond Street fripperies instead of laying them up against the rainy day.

A Cathedral Courtship and Penelope's English Experiences (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the travels of two well-to-do American women, aunt Celia and her niece, as they embark on a journey through England's rich, historical cathedrals. Steeped in High Church ritual and theology, aunt Celia intends to enrich the mind of her young charge. However, the niece has a secret pleasure in mind. During their travels, they meet a young architect named Roderick Abbott, who captivates the niece's heart and provides a more exciting, worldly counterpoint to aunt Celia's monkish obsession with ecclesiastical architecture. The book offers engaging insights into the subtle clashes between old world customs and sensibilities and the emerging modern world. It also explores the complex dynamics of family and relationships, particularly the changing ideas around women's autonomy and societal roles. The author's lively prose and richly drawn characters bring the narrative to life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331601340_0
