Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Honorable Miss. Moonlight
With the approach of evening, a soothing breeze crept up from the river. Its faint movement brought a measure of relief, and nature took on a more ani mated aspect. Up through the narrow, twisting roads, in and out of the never-ending paths, the lights of count less jinrikishas twinkled, bound for the Houses of Pleasure. Revelers called to each other out of the balmy darkness. Under the quivering light of a lifted lantern, suspended for an instant, faces gleamed out, then disappeared back into the darkness.
