The Rocklitz

The Rocklitz by Marjorie Bowen is about Madame de Rosny living out her days at the House of Neitschutz. Excerpt: «The children were sporting round the fountain, trailing their hands in the water that filled but never over-brimmed the basin of greenish stone, throwing bright balls through the tall jets which overturned it veils of spray, and floating small paper craft on the confined tides made by their lusty rufflings of a surface they had found placid save for the falling drops returning to their source.»
