An idle, well-born young New Yorker has let his life slide into comfortable self-indulgence until a spirited young woman tells him to his face that he ought to take the world by the throat and earn a decent living. Their sparring friendship, told in chapters headed with Latin legal tags, unfolds against the restaurants, studios and drawing rooms of the city around 1912.
A light, witty society romance first serialised as The Turning Point, with illustrations by Charles Dana Gibson. Download the free EPUB.
