A Kiss for Cinderella A Comedy - Classic Reprint Author:J. M. Barrie I — The least distinguished person in 1 Who's Who * has escaped, as it were, from that fashionable crush, and is spending a quiet evening at home. He is curled up in his studio, which is so dark thai he would he invisible, had we not obligingly placed his ivicker chair just where the one dim ray from the stove may strike his face. His eyes are cl... more »osed luxuriously, and we could not learn much about him without first poking our fingers into them.

He is a painter for the nicest of reasons, that it is deliglitful to live and die
