The Honey-Pot

The Honey-Pot is a novel by Countess Barcynska. Marguerite Jarvis was a British writer, screenwriter, and actress who used numerous pseudonyms for her literary works. Excerpt: «She threw open the door for Alexandra to enter. It was the sort of room that many a domestic servant would have considered inadequate. The only compensating feature about it on this hot June day was that it had two windows. Both stood open, and on the sill of each a pot of flowers, mignonette in the one, sweet peas in the other, helped to create an impression of freshness.»
