Fanny Lambert

'Fanny Lambert' is a romance-adventure novel written by H. De Vere Stacpoole. The story unfolds with a conversation occurring between an artist, Mr. Leavesley and his maid, Belinda, about his lost umbrellas. The artist is a happy-go-lucky person—considered by some as genius or insane. He has been selling some of his art recently and is beginning to feel successful. As he paints, he can hear the sounds of the city outside and imagines the sights of the King's Road in Chelsea. Later, we learn that he is in love and has a letter in his pocket from the person he loves.
