Illustration for chaper 9 of evan harrington. Published in once a week magazine, volume 2, page 243. In this scene, the countess de saldar, english born but proud of her portuguese noble title so that she always dresses in portuguese fashion, is talking to her brother evan, full of admonishments. She is urging him to attempt to marry rose jocelyn (so much above evan's station that he is despairing of her). "‘faint heart! faint heart!’ the countess lifted a proverbial forefinger. ". Date: 1860.
