The Old Maid illustrations and a letter excerpt
A fragment from a Victorian volume describes ornamental Indian ink designs by Mrs Hartingley and quotations from Arm strong Akenside Johnson Young and others. A loose, unsigned letter, possibly by Sir Harry Hyacinth, is read with good sense and maxims but left for later. Mrs Montague’s servant brings distressing news that Rosara is ill and Yulia seeks to accompany her friend into Rutlandshire.
