Description: At fifty-three Lady Ruby Maclean had not lost her beauty for which she had been loved by many men and envied by her colorless daughter Miranda, her friend Cora and her women relatives. Through flash-backs, the life of each character is related. A curious detachment presents a depressing picture of people whose fruitful years are over and who face old age with varying degrees of hopelessness.
