Pink and White Tyranny: A Society Novel (Classic Reprint)
Excerpt from Pink and White Tyranny: A Society Novel
MY dear reader, -this story is not to be a novel, as the world understands the word; and we tell you so beforehand, lest you be in ill-humor by not find ing What you expected. For if you have been told that your dinner is to be salmon and green pease, and made up your mind to that bill of fare, and then, on coming to the table, find that it is beefsteak and tomatoes, you may be out of sorts; not because beefsteak and tomatoes are not respectable viands, but because they are not What you have made up your mind to enjoy. Now, a novel, in our days, is a three-story affair, a complicated, complex, multiform composition, requir ing no end of scenery and dramatis personae, and plot and plan, together with trap-doors, pit-falls, Wonderful escapes and thrilling dangers; and the scenes transport one all over the earth,-to England, Italy, Switzerland.
