Excerpt from Poems Shot through the heart stone-dead. Nay, now don't faint I hate a fainting woman. Here's your fan A little water? So you're better now. Pray, hear my story out, love, if you can. I think he uttered something as he fell: A woman's name - I scarcely caught the sound It passed so quickly that I am not sure, For he was dead before he reached the ground. Ah, poor de Courcy! Handsome, was he not? A favorite with the ladies, I believe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

editor journalist playwright poet
Lucy Hamilton Jones was born on January 20, 1835 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. Her maiden name was Jones. She was the daughter of Bataile Muse Jones, a prominent wholesale grocer.
Hooper found time to indulge her taste for music and art, and to write occasional poems that brought her a local reputation for literary ability. In 1864 she published a little volume of verse, Poems: with Translations from the German of Geibel and Others, and acted as associate editor of Our Daily Fare, a paper put out by the managers of the Great Central Sanitary Fair held in Philadelphia during that year. This pleasant dabbling in literature came to an end with her husband's financial failure a few years later.
Feeling the necessity of turning her writing to account, she obtained, in 1868, through her friendship with the Lippincott family, a place on the editorial staff of the newly founded Lippincott's Magazine. Here she promptly won recognition through her poems, stories, and a successful series of gossipy travel letters. She published her second volume of verse, Poems, in 1871.
In 1874 she removed to Paris, where she devoted herself for the remainder of her life to an active journalistic career. She continued her connection with Lippincott's Magazine, supplying it with lively articles on French theatres, art exhibitions, concerts, and fashions, as well as with occasional stories, and contributed to Appletons' Journal weekly letters dealing with the social and literary life of Paris. She undertook regular correspondence with Philadelphia, Baltimore, and St. Louis papers, establishing a remarkable record for almost twenty years of uninterrupted service with the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph. While carrying on her literary labors she led an active social life in Paris. She dispensed hospitality to the American colony and delighted in bringing together literary and artistic groups.
Her interest in the life and the accomplishment around her enabled her to write enthusiastically of the music, the painting, and the drama of the day, and to find material for her journalistic work in the streets and shops of the city. She died in Paris two days after dictating her last letter to the Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, and, in accordance with her request, her body was cremated at Père-Lachaise Cemetery.
Her published works include The Nabob (1878), from the French of Alphonse Daudet; Her Living Image (1886), a play written in collaboration with the French dramatist Laurencin; and Helen's Inheritance, a play in which her daughter was cast for the leading part when it was first produced in America.
