Excerpt from Princess Napraxine, Vol. 2 of 3
When I had done with them, I had my half hour"s swim. What nonsense the doctors talk about not swimming in winter: the chill of the water is delicious. In summer one always fancies the sea has been boiled. Platon, if you had not gone to bed, you would have seen your friend Othmar. He was here for half an hour."
"Othmar!" exclaimed the Prince. "Here at that time of the morning?"
"He does not want to go to sleep," she retorted. "He had his chocolate with me, and then rowed himself back to S. Pharamond and Baron Fritz."
Lady Brancepeth glanced at her.
"You have certainly done a great deal, Nadine, while we have been only dozing," she said drily. The Princess looked at her good-humouredly, with her little dubious smile.
"There is always something to do if one only look for it. You feel so satisfied with yourself too when you have been useful before one o"clock."
"Othmar!" repeated the Prince. "If I had known, I would have come downstairs."
