Excerpt from TanteIlluminated by chill gas-jets, armed with books and sand wiches, the serried and devoted ranks were composed of typical concert-goers, of types, in some cases, becoming as extinct as the muffin-man, young art-students from the suburbs, dressed in Liberty serges and velveteens, and reading ninepenny editions of Browning and Rossetti - though a few, already, were reading Yeats, middle-aged spinsters from Bayswater or South Kensing ton, who took their weekly concert as they took their daily bath, many earnest young men, soft-hatted and long-haired, studying scores, the usual contingent of the fashionable and economical lady, and the pale-faced business man, bringing an air of duty to the pursuit of pleasure.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
