Sherlock Holmes And The Case Of The Sword Princess - Plot & Excerpts
Alexandra giggled, leaning over her own expertly executed embroidery to observe Mirabella’s failed attempt, having much in common with the appearance of chicken seed scattered in a barnyard. “I would think a country girl such as yourself would at least be able to sew.” “I have no accomplishments at all, Lady Alexandra, is that what you wish to hear?” Mirabella replied to the Duke and Duchess of Glazebury’s daughter, surprised at how the title failed to impress her after only two weeks in Miss de Beauvais’. But even less impressed than she was with Lady Alexandra was the rest of the group with her, Mirabella knew. It had not taken long to peg her as the country bumpkin. She either didn’t curtsy low enough or high enough, her skin was lightly tanned (Heaven forbid! Only the lower classes were out in the elements working), her nails were shorter than those of the other girls, and her hands rougher. Working with chemicals in a laboratory did nothing to soften the skin. Apparently sulfuric acid was not the best skin softener.
