Explore "A Knight of Spain" by Marjorie Bowen on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Don Juan was standing before the mantelpiece which was of fine Flemish carving and fingering the little gold popinjay which hung on his black doublet, when the lady who had insisted on seeing him, entered.
Without appearing to alter his attitude of unconcern he looked at her swiftly and keenly. He saw at once that she was a Fleming; an opulent, florid woman, not young, but dressed in a youthful and extravagant manner in a hood and mantle of tawny-coloured satin and a crimson silk gown trimmed with gold.
