The Third Person is a masterful work of fiction that offers a fascinating glimpse into the social and cultural landscape of Victorian England, while also providing a timeless exploration of the human condition.Miss Amy took her evening nap before dinner, an hour at which Miss Susan could never sleep -- it was so odd; whereby Miss Susan took hers after that meal, just at the hour when Miss Amy was keenest for talk. Miss Susan, erect and unsupported, had feelings as to the way in which, in almost any posture that could pass for a seated one, Miss Amy managed to find a place in the small of her back for two out of the three sofa-cushions -- a smaller place, obviously, than they had ever been intended to fit.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
