Think of having the run of a house where a social secretary is required! I'm sure she sends out the invitations and keeps the engagement- book. Besides all that, she writes poetry--she is the minstrel of the court. She does verses about her chatelaine--is quite the mistress of self- respecting adulation. She would know the difference between Herrick and Cowper!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
