The golden ball & other stories part 2

This Novel is descriptive in its' characters. Extremely romantic. :)


Jane in search of a Job

• Jane Cleveland-> Young man looking at her with frank admiration. Until yesterday, I never saw a girl I felt I could marry. 

A fruitful Sunday

• Dorothy-> The price of a virtuous women is far above rubies.

The Golden Ball

• a big florid lady with peroxide hair came in expectantly.
•  George-> tossing an apple into Mary's lap, also symbolical. Yes, originally Eve gave Adam an apple, nowadays Adam gives Eve one.

Swan Song

• Miss Vera Rend-> Nazorkoff's secretary. Pale girl with an efficient manner.
• Nazorkoff-> She was a tall woman, and for a single not unduly fat. Her arms and legs were still slender and her neck was a beautiful column. Her hair, which was coiled in a great roll halfway down her neck, was of a dark, glowing red. Forty at least, but the lines of her face were still lovely, through the skin was loosened and wrinkled round the flashing, dark eyes. Had the laugh of a child, the digestion of an ostrich, temper of a fiend. 
• Bianca Capelli-> who sung beautifully the 'Torsa'
• Blanche Amrly -> Lady Rustonbury's 24 years old daughter. Slender girl with wide blue eyes. 

The hound of Death

• Sister Masie Angelique-> most uncanny creature, has hallucination, well worth seeing. Her eyes turned to me, a faint flush crept into her cheek. A shrill cry burst from her lips.
• Dr. Rose-> young and keen. Always take interest in Sister Marie. Pleasant, yet there was something about his personality that rather repelled me. It was too forceful to be altogether agreeable. 

The Gipsy

• Rachel, younger sister-> with Macfarlane

Macfarlane-> he had been unwilling to admit to himself the growing attraction that Rachel's childlike face and honest brown eyes had for him.

• with celtic imagination hidden away somewhere, listened and smoked. He had known an unburdening was coming.
• Like a man awakening from a dream, a warm rush of glad reality swept over him.
• "Rachel!" he said, and, lifting her chin, he kissed her lips.

Esther Lawes-Elder sister

• wrote awfully jolly letters to Dickie to cheer him up
• six foot one of Jewish perfection
• a shrewd portrait, he though, as he remembered her unusual height and the long slenderness of her
• marble whiteness of her face with its delicate down-drooping nose
• black splendor of hair and eyes
• had the boyish simplicity of Dickie Capitulated.
• Could never have made his own pulse beat one jot faster.

Dickie, Carpenter

• Engagement called off
• His craving for sea was in born
• There was something of the viking about him, primitive and direct, a nature on which subtleties of thought were wasted.
• He belonged to that inarticulate order of young Englishmen who dislike any form of emotion, and who find it peculiarly hard to explain their mental processes in words.

Mrs Hanorth

• very fair
• her hair was a lovely pale shining yellow.
• put her hand on Dickie's arm, warned him about going in
• her voice was just kind -- and very sorry
• warned Dickie about the Operation
• came out from nowhere
• when being enquired by her name, there was no such name in the house
• She brushed her hand quickly across her eyes. " I don't know, I fancied that we shouldn't meet again, that's all--goodbye."

The Lamp

Mrs Lancaster: Widow, buyer of the house No. 19

---Sinister Chill Setting---

Mr Winburn

Geoffrey-> Mrs Lancaster's son

The strange Case of Sir Arthur Carmichael

Introduction of Carmichael by Dr. Settle

• a pleasant amiable boy, with no more than his fair share of concert, not brilliant intellectually perhaps, but an excellent type of the ordinary upper class young Englishman.

Dr. Edward Carstar-> eminent psychologist

Miss Phyllis Patterson

• charming girl
• sunlight enhanced the gleam of her glorious golden hair
• beautiful grey Persian cat twined itself lovingly round her feet as she walked
• certainly a very lovely girl, though her cheeks were pale, and her frank eyes were outlined with dark circle
• shrink against me a little, and I laid my hand soothingly on her arm
• her lips parted and her breath coming quickly, gazing earnestly at me

Lady Carmichael

• middle-aged but still beautiful woman rose as we entered and came forward with an outstretched hand
• I cannot explain the instinctive crave of repulsion that swept over me as I took the proffered hand of this charming and stately woman who moved with the dark and languorous grace that recalled SETTLE's surmise of oriental blood.

Arthur

• lost memory
• seemed vacant
• but rather slyly watchful

The Call of Wings

Sila Hamer

• The Sleeklines of Sila Hamer's body were amplified by the heavily fur-lined coat, and the white light emphasized the thick rolls of flesh beneath his chin.

Dick Borrow

• thin ascetic face and the star-grazing fanatical eyes.
