Christine Drummond, as the
story opens, has broken away
from the plush-lined thrall

old heiress who drags her
around the world and keeps

Christine. who has been
pushed into this gilded cage

that liberty long deferred is a
little hard to take alone in
Paris. She seems about TO be
drawn into a seedy trap baited

that the Fourteenth Amend
