Description
Snaith published Araminta at New York in 1909, a society novel that ran through five printings by August of that year. The contents open with the old woman of Hill Street and an idea that came to her. Lord Cheriton looks in, and then arrives, in the fourth chapter's bold phrase, the first cause of all romance. Jim Lascelles makes his appearance a few chapters later and takes a decisive step soon after.
Miss Perry, soul of discretion, has her palm crossed with silver, and high revel is held in Hill Street. A French novel and a red umbrella share one episode, and Paris is staged on Mount Ida in another. Lascelles adds heroism to his other fine qualities before a thunderbolt falls near the end. Snaith writes light comedy of the London drawing room, with a Welsh castle, Pen-y-Gros, for the country scenes.
