Description: Excerpt from Red-Headed Gill Mr. Trehanna, I want to introduce you to Lady Branscombe! Lady Branscombe, here is a fellow countryman of ours, who has been through all the war in the Soudan, and I don't know where besides." "Ah! Graf Kinski; how do you do?" and the hostess of the evening turned away, and left the two people thus presented to improve each other's acquaintance. It was a crowded reception night at the British Embassy, for his Excellency, H.M.'s Ambassador to the Court of Vienna, was very popular, and his salon attractive. The lights were brilliant, and reflected in every corner by bejeweled Hungarians. A lively waltz was going on in an adjoining room, and the sounds formed a musical background to the forcible Wiener Deutsch echoing on all sides. Lady Branscombe, in diaphanous and effective black, created a charming contrast to the many-colored crowd.
