Excerpt from A Passing Fancy
Ambrosia doyne was one of those fortunate people upon whom the kindly hand of Time seems to have left little or no noticeable trace.
When the indisputable fact is mentioned that she was the mother of a son of two-and twenty, it will be understood at once that Mrs Doyne was no longer in her first youth. Yet so little was this fact borne in mind by her numerous friends that, in the fortuitously ftc quent absences of this incontrovertible evidence of her actual age, it is doubtful whether any of them remembered it at all. Her radiant personality was indissolubly interwoven with health and energy and good looks - with all, in fact, that renders youth attractive and delightful.
