Engraved Expressly for Graham's Magazine.
"Showy! She's a magnificent woman, Erskine. And so you've met her?"
"A few times."
"Were you not enchanted?"
"No. Your glorious creatures never turn my brain."
"You're an anchorite."
"Far from it. I delight in all things lovely; and, above all, in the presence of a lovely woman."
"A lovelier woman than Edith Maurice I have not seen for a twelvemonth."
