Samenvatting	Born in 1862 to a prosperous, cultivated family, Ada Leverson contributed humourous articles to "Punch" magazine and attracted the attention of Oscar Wilde. He became a firm friend and in 1985 was sheltered by the Leversons during his trial. Aubrey Beardsley, Walter Sickert, John Singer Sargent, Mrs Patrick Campbell and Max Beerbohm all became habitues of Ada Leverson's salon, at the heart of fashionable nineties society. Ada Leverson published two stories in the Yellow Book in 1895 and 1896 but it was not until 1905, when her unhappy marriage collapsed, that she began to write the six comedies of manners which established her reputation among an ever-growing circle of admirers.
