One Day's Courtship

By Robert Barr

Book Overview

One Day's Courtship is a novel written by Robert Barr. The story revolves around a young man named Jack, who is in love with a woman named Edith. However, he is too shy to express his feelings to her. One day, he decides to take a bold step and propose to her. The entire novel covers the events of that one day, as Jack tries to win Edith's heart. The story is set in the late 19th century and is filled with witty dialogues and humorous situations. The book is a light-hearted romantic comedy that explores the themes of love, courtship, and social norms of the time.""Those pictures, Miss Sommerton, are not genuine; they are not at all what they pretend to be. The prints that you have seen are the results of the manipulation of two separate plates, one of the plates containing the group or the person photographed, and the other an instantaneous picture of the falls. If you look closely at one of those pictures you will see a little halo of light or dark around the person photographed. That, to an experienced photographer, shows the double printing. In fact, it is double dealing all round. The deluded victim of the camera imagines that the pictures he gets of the falls, with himself in the foreground, is really a picture of the falls taken at the time he is being photographed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
