About This Item
London: Duckworth, 1912. Bound in the publishers blue cloth with gilt title lettering to spine. This is the second impression published in July 1912 and in exactly the same format as the first impression which was published in May of the same year.

Duckworth and Co. catologue of titles to rear of book. Book sits solid and square with all corners sharp. Gilt title lettering to spine remains sharp and definite. A very presentable copy of this uncommon D.H. Lawrence title. Photographs of the book are available on request.. First Edition. Very Good/No Jacket.
Synopsis
From the book:Take off that mute, do!' cried Louisa, snatching her fingers from the piano keys, and turning abruptly to the violinist. Helena looked slowly from her music. 'My dear Louisa,' she replied, 'it would be simply unendu-rable.' She stood tapping her white skirt with her bow in a kind of a pathetic forbearance. 'But I can't understand it,' cried Louisa, bouncing on her chair with the exaggeration of one who is indignant with a beloved. 'It is only lately you would even submit to muting your violin. At one time you would have refused flatly, and no doubt about it.' 'I have only lately submitted to many things,' replied Helena, who seemed weary and stupefied, but still sententious. Louisa drooped from her bristling defiance.
