Landow [You may use this image without prior permission for any scholarly or educational purpose as long as you (1) credit the person who scanned the image and (2) link your document to this URL.]
Commentary: Another of du Maurier's depictions of high society, it makes an interesting contrast to Leech's much earlier image of an ideal Dickensian christmas.
