Excerpt from Arden: A Novel, Vol. 2 of 2 Arden began her picture, and talked and thought of little else by day, and dreamed of it by night. It was not, you see, merely a work of art; it was a future, or rather the possible resurrection of her past.

"AGNES MARY FRANCES ROBINSON, now Madame James Darmesteter, was born at Leamington, February 27th, 1857. She is the daughter of Mr. George T. Robinson; her younger sister, Frances Mabel Robinson, is one of the most powerful of the younger novelists of the day. Miss Robinson lived in London until her marriage in 1888 with M. James Darmesteter, Professor of Persian in the Collège de France and the Ecole des Hautes Etudes. Since her marriage she has lived in Paris, where her salon is one of the centres of Parisian letters and learning." ~ Arthur Symons, 1907.
