James' prose is elegant and precise, and his characters are vividly drawn and fully realized. The book is a true masterpiece of literature, and remains one of the most beloved works of the 19th century.The youngest person present, before the ladies came in, was the young man who had sat next to Vera and whom, being on the same side of the long table, he had not had under his eye. Maurice noticed him now, noticed that he was very good-looking, fair and fresh and clean, impeccable in his straight smoothness; also that apparently knowing none of the other guests and moving by himself about the studio with visible interest in the charming things, he had the modesty of his age and of his position.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
