The Princess Galva: Unabridged

The Princess Galva is a romantic novel by David Whitelaw. Excerpt from the book: "If there's anything I can do for youamp;mdash;amp;mdash;" began the junior, brushing his hair in front of a little mirror and settling his purple tie nervously. "No, Joynings; nothing, I thank you. I'm leaving you old Brown's looking-glass and soap-box¿they're fixtures, and go with the position." The junior tittered a little at this and pulled down the front of his fancy waistcoat, lit a cigarette, and took a pair of roller-skates from the drawer of his desk. He came over and held out his hand. "Right, then I'll be popping alongamp;mdash;good luck, old man, and all that. You'll drop into something soon. If I hear of anythingamp;mdash;amp;mdash;" "Oh, I'll be all right," said Edward Povey. There is always a certain fascination in change and elation in abnormal conditions, even if those conditions constitute a misfortune.
