Synopsis

The Real Lady Hilda is a love story for young women written by Bithia Mary Croker, whose other writings include  "The Serpent's Tooth",  “PRETTY MISS NEVILLE,” “DIANA BARRINGTON,” “MR. JERVIS,” “PROPER PRIDE,” “PEGGY OF THE BARTONS,” “BEYOND THE PALE.”

Certainly there was not much to see, amid the creeping shadows of a November afternoon. A dripping hen, wading carefully across the road; a coal-cart, the driver enveloped in empty sacks; and the undertaker’s retriever—black and curly, as an undertaker’s dog should be—sitting in his master’s doorway, and yawning most infectiously. If we had lived opposite to the post-office, the lending library, or even the hotel, we should have enjoyed a livelier outlook, but “Mound & Son—Funeral Establishment—Coffins, Hearses, and every Requisite,” to quote from the inscription over the door, in rigid white characters on a mourning ground, afforded but a gloomy and dispiriting prospect.
