{"product_id":"2940016283692","title":"A Triple Entanglement","description":"“A Triple Entanglement” is an early romance novel published in 1899.  It is a classic genre piece where the boy meets and falls in love with the girl who is engaged to a scoundrel whom her family does not care for.  The boy, from a wealthy American family, and the girl, an English gentleman’s daughter, meet while he is doing a European tour.  There are many plot twists, trials, and tribulations among the three participants, their many acquaintances met while travelling, their friends, and their enemies before the story reaches a satisfactory conclusion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe author, Mrs. Burton Harrison (1843-1920) was born in Port Gibson, Mississippi to an aristocratic plantation family.  She was a well known author of her day and wrote under the several names: Constance Cary, Constance C. Harrison, and her pen name Refugitta which she used when writing for Southern magazines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe illustrator, Violet Oakley (1874-1961), was the first American woman to be commissioned to paint a public mural, a field dominated by male artists.  Her work can be found in the Pennsylvania State Capitol Building, Vassar College, and other locations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis eBook edition was carefully prepared by referring to an original text to correct scanning errors that are common in other versions.

He made no pretence of hiding from himself that this thrill recurred. It would be time enough by and by, when they had passed out of the region of castles in Spain, to let it abate decently and in order. Just now every day’s sky was bluer than all the year’s blue sky preceding it. Wherever they stopped, he found his way to the purchase of flowers to lay upon her shrine. At San Ildefonso, where they strolled together in the deserted gardens of the summer palace, she wore at her belt a cluster of his deep red roses, one of which, falling apart, tracked the way along which she moved with a rain of crimson petals. Going the rounds of the quaint old Castilian city of Segovia, she carried his carnations, large, rich, and spicy, streaked with pink and white, a flower he ever after associated with her image in a setting of ruined walls, round towers, Gothic churches, and mediæval gateways. The verdant plains encompassing the fortress city of Avila dwelt the longer in his memory because she had passed over them her arms full of his orange-blossoms. He could have better stood an examination upon the library of the University of Salamanca as seen from a lover’s point of view than from an antiquarian’s, since its florid magnificence had been dimmed to him by the presence there of a slender girl upon whose breast lay a knot of pale-tinted anemones offered by his hand.","brand":"Snazz eBooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47081225552112,"sku":"2940016283692","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940016283692_p0.jpg?v=1763631971","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940016283692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
