A Daughter of Eve
Paperback

Excerpt from A Daughter of Eve
In this cold, orderly boudoir, where all things were in place as if for sale, no Sign existed of the gay and capricious disorder of a happy home. At the present moment, the two young women were weeping. Pain seemed to predominate. The name of the owner, Ferdinand du Tillet, one of the richest bankers in Paris, is enough to explain the luxury of the whole house, of which this boudoir is but a sample.
