Werner, E: Danira. v1. 20 Sep 2013
Werner, E., pseudonym of Elisabeth Bürstenbinder (Berlin, 1838-1918, Merano), author of numerous light novels published in serial form. Her collected works appeared as Gesammelte Romane und Novellen (10 vols.) 1893-5.
Excerpt In the bow stood a young officer in the uniform of the Austrian Imperial Chasseurs, who, spy-glass in hand, was scanning the scene. The light fatigue cap covering his thick, fair hair, shaded a face that harmonized perfectly with his manly bearing. Every feature was grave, firm, resolute, and the clear light-brown eyes, with their quiet, searching gaze, suited the countenance. Yet one might have desired a little more life and animation; the grave, passionless repose of a face so youthful produced an almost chilling impression. A heavy step was heard on the cabin stairs, and directly after a young soldier, who wore the same uniform, approached. The steamer still rocked so much that he had some difficulty in crossing the deck to his officer, who now closed the glass and turned toward him.
