Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Bonnet Conspirators: A Story of 1815
It matches your hair beautifully, ' said Marie, speaking in all the honesty of undivided attention. And then she blushed crimson at her own thought lessness, for whatever it was now, even she could remember the time when her aunt's hair had been bright as molten gold in sunshine, and the bonnet, arrested for a moment in mid-air above its natural resting-place as Lady Hepzibah looked round in mild surprise, was lined all through its expanding fan-shaped brim with a satin hovering in hue between dingy drab and a dull fawn.
