DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Dull Miss Archinard is a novel by Anne Douglas Sedgwick. Sedgwick was an American-born British writer known for her novels that explored the contrast in values between Americans and Europeans. Excerpt: "Mrs. Odd lay back in an easy-chair. She was very remarkable looking. The adjective is usually employed in a sense rather derogatory to beauty pure and simple, yet Mrs. Odd's dominant characteristic was beauty, pure and simple; beauty triumphantly certain of remark, and remarkable in the sense that no one could fail to notice her, as when one had noticed her it was impossible not to find her beautiful."
