Colonel Rudolph Musgrave of Lichfield, Virginia, is a gentle bachelor devoted to genealogy and the honour of old families. His marriage to the much younger Patricia, and the arrival of the fashionable novelist John Charteris, test his chivalric ideals against the realities of the twentieth century in a quietly ironic comedy of Southern manners.
A wise, melancholy comedy from 1915 by the author of Jurgen, sharp on the myths the South told about itself. Download the free EPUB.
