Excerpt from Miss. Brown, Vol. 3 of 3 While Anne was being indoctrinated with her cousin's philosophical theories, Hamlin had little by little let himself be drawn into the little clique of more mystical and Bohemian pre-Raphaelites whom Edmund Lewis had collected round Madame Elaguine. The old-fashioned, long-established aesthetes, who believed that artistic salvation resided solely in themselves and their kith and kin, and who strangely muddled together the theories of an esoteric school and the prejudice of the untravelled Briton, decidedly set their face against Madame Elaguine.
