The flirtatious relationship between bachelor Sam Carter and the vivacious beauty Dorothea “Dolly” Foster takes them from Monte Carlo to London. When Dolly marries a wealthy lord, Sam feigns indifference—but they both know the truth. Enormously popular when published, this novel is an insightful look into the social mores of the fashionable late-Victorian scene.
