Excerpt from Prudence: A Story of Æsthetic London The first time Prudence Marlitt appeared in English society was at a dance at the Jamison-Poynsetts'. Mrs. Poynsett, as every one knows, is the wife of the famous R. A., and is herself a leader of æsthetic fashion in that region hovering between Kensington and Belgravia, and known as "Passionate Brompton." The highest forms of art, culture, and even science are expressed within the Poynsetts' hospitable walls, all the impressive social influences of the day gather new force when diffused by Mrs. Poynsett or her daughters, young poets can put their emotional impressions into verse when gazing upon the dado of Mrs. Poynsett sinner drawing-room, artists can gather that inspiration needed for their work by studying the willowy angles and sadly sunken eyes of the elder Miss Poynsett, yet there is nothing oppressive in the suggestions of the beautiful house - in the courtesy and grace of its occupants.
