Auch für die Tochter eines Dukes kann das Leben manchmal schwer sein: Obwohl die schöne Lady Jane sich vor Verehrern kaum retten kann, weist ihr Vater, der stolzeste Mann in England, alle zurück. Doch das Herz Lady Janes ist bereits vergeben – an den attraktiven und erfolgreichen Mr. Winston, der seinerseits von Jane hingerissen ist. Doch wie nun den sturen Vater überzeugen? Denn einen Adelstitel hat Mr. Winston leider nicht ... Eine leichtfüßige und amüsante Erzählung aus dem viktorianischen Großbritannien. Margaret Oliphant (1828–1897) war eine der erfolgreichsten Schriftstellerinnen im viktorianischen Großbritannen mit über 120 veröffentlichten Werken. In Schottland geboren heiratete sie ihren Cousin und zog mit ihm nach London, wo sie ihre schriftstellerische Karriere als Autorin populärer Liebesgeschichten und Romane begann. Nachdem ihr Mann verstarb, war es Margaret Oliphant die mit ihrem zunehmenden Erfolg als Schriftstellerin die große Familie ernährte. Zu ihren Lebzeiten ungemein populär, geriet sie anschließend in Vergessenheit und wurde als Autorin seichter Literatur belächelt. In jüngster Zeit findet sie jedoch zunehmend Beachtung in der Forschung und wird als wichtige feministische Autorin des 19. Jahrhunderts wiederentdeckt.

Voici un petit roman qui est, à mon goût, une merveille. M. Henri Bremond a eu l'heureuse idée de traduire de l'anglais la Ville enchantée. Et qu'un tel esprit, à qui nous devons d'avoir mieux compris Newman et Fénelon, se soit plu à cette tâche effacée, voilà un signe, plus clair que toutes les préfaces, en faveur de ce petit livre. Pourtant, je ne puis m'empêcher d'y joindre mon témoignage et de dire à mes amis: Écoutez, recueillez cette note charmante et très haute, le son argentin d'une cloche. C'est l'accent qu'aujourd'hui beaucoup de nous désirent d'entendre...

The drawing-room within was very different from the wild conflict of light and darkness outside. There was music going on at one end, some people were reading, some talking. There were flirtations in hand, and grave discussions. In short, the evening was being spent as people are apt to spend the evening when there is nothing particular going on. There had been a good deal of private yawning and inspection of watches throughout the evening, and some of the party had already gone to bed, or rather to their rooms, where they could indulge in the happiness of fancying themselves somewhere else-an amusement which is very popular and general in a country house.

Helen had still another incident before her, however, ere she left St Mary's Road. It was late in the afternoon when she went back. To go back at all, to enter the dismantled place, and have that new dreary picture thrust into her mind instead of the old image of home, was painful enough, and Norah's cheeks were pale, and even to Helen the air and the movement conveyed a certain relief. They went into the quieter part of the park and walked for an hour or two saying little. Now and then poor Norah would be beguiled into a little monologue, to which her mother lent a half attention-but that was all. It was easier to be in motion than to keep still, and it was less miserable to look at the trees, the turf, the blue sky, than at the walls of a room which was full of associations of happiness. They did not get home until the carriages were beginning to roll into the park for the final round before dinner. And when they reached their own house, there stood a smart cabriolet before it, the horse held by a little tiger. Within the gate two gentlemen met them coming down the steps. One of them was a youth of eighteen or nineteen, who looked at Helen with a wondering awe-stricken glance. The other was-Mr Golden. Norah had closed the garden door heedlessly after her. They were thus shut in, the four together confronting each other, unable to escape.

Mr and Mrs Robert Drummond lived in a pretty house in the Kensington district; a house, the very external aspect of which informed the passer-by who they were, or at least what the husband was. The house was embowered in its little garden; and in spring, with its lilacs and laburnums, looked like a great bouquet of bloom as such houses often do. But built out from the house, and occupying a large slice of the garden at the side, was a long room, lighted with sky windows, and not by any means charming to look at outside, though the creepers, which had not long been planted, were beginning to climb upon the walls. It was connected with the house by a passage which acted as a conservatory, and was full of flowers; and everything had been done that could be done to render the new studio as beautiful in aspect as it was in meaning. But it was new, and had scarcely yet begun, as its proprietor said, to 'compose' with its surroundings. Robert Drummond, accordingly, was a painter, a painter producing, in the mean time, pictures of the class called genre; but intending to be historical, and to take to the highest school of art as soon as life and fame would permit.

It was the most exciting event which had ever occurred in the family, and everything was affected by it. Imagine to yourselves such a young family, all in the very heyday of life, parents and children alike. It is true that Mrs. Kingsward was something of an invalid, but nobody believed that her illness was anything very serious, only a reason why she should be taken abroad, to one place after another, to the great enjoyment of the girls, who were never so happy as when they were travelling and gaining, as they said, experience of life. She was not yet forty, while Charlie was twenty-one and Bee nineteen, so that virtually they were all of the same age, so to speak, and enjoyed everything together-mamma by no means put aside into the ranks of the dowagers, but going everywhere and doing everything just like the rest, and as much admired as anyone.
