Evan Harrington - 26 - Prelude to an Engagement

Illustration for Chapter 29 of "Evan Harrington." Once a Week, Volume 3, page 57. In this scene, the cousins Juliana Bonner and Harry Jocelyn, who both have reason to dislike the fact that Rose intends to marry Evan, discuss the situation. Juliana comes up with a plan to discredit Evan and his sister the Countess, and tells Harry what to do. In the background is depicted the Countess, who formerly kept Harry enthralled but now made the mistake of snubbing him and thus drove him to Juliana.
