Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An American Mother: And Other Stories
Oh, certainly. Acquiesced Miss Phelps. She carefully refrained from meeting her hostess' glance, but her expression betrayed vague dismay.
Mrs. Cannon, smilingly attentive, saw the faintest shadow of annoyance gather on her son's face as he hastened to divert Miss Mc Donnell's attention into a less conspicuous conversation with himself. In that moment the memory of Van Alden and his warning came to her, and the pulses in her body seemed to stop for an instant, as she realized in this first signal of success the extent of the risk she had taken.
