My Flirtations - Paperback

by Ella Hepworth Dixon (Author)

My Flirtations is a collection of short stories written by Ella Hepworth Dixon. The stories are set in London during the late 19th century and explore the lives of women who are trying to navigate the complexities of love and relationships in a society that is often restrictive and judgmental. The book is divided into three sections, each focusing on a different aspect of love: friendship, courtship, and marriage. The stories are written in a witty and engaging style, with a sharp eye for social commentary and a deep understanding of the human heart. Dixon's characters are complex and nuanced, and her stories offer a fascinating glimpse into the lives of women during a time of great social change. My Flirtations is a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers today.In the dining-room the prim, thin Chippendale furniture was ranged against a pale-coloured wall, while the round table, with its fine damask and Georgian silver, and the soft lamplight illumining a great bowl of flowers, was somehow suggestive of brilliant talk and dainty fare. But Mr. Clancy was always modest about his possessions. 'It's so sweet of you to like my things, ' he would say deprecatingly to some fashionable lady who was going round his rooms sniffing up ideas. 'I never care for anything I have. It's so good of you to like my poor little cottage.'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
