Excerpt from The Red Mouse: A Mystery Romance

For notwithstanding his very moderate circum stances, the elder Challoner had been that rarest of mortals - a man blissfully content with his lot in life, and, one who seldom missed an opportunity to deplore the insatiable craze of the rich for more riches, forever protesting that blatant commercialism, haste and artificiality were the gods of the present day; and no picture in their gallery of lasting im pressions stood out more vividly than the one in which, surrounded by a group of young fellows, who had got him going, as they phrased it, he was declaim ing against - what was merely his pet hobby in an other form - the egregious folly of poor young men seeking riches through marriage.

Excerpt from The Red Mouse: A Mystery Romance

For years - the best years of her life, for that matter, as she often reflected in lonely moments - Miriam Challoner had been trying to prove to her own satisfaction that her husband was no worse than the majority of young men married to rich women, but she could never find the arguments whereby she might arrive at the desired conclusion. It is not to be wondered at, then, that eventually there came a day when the information was brought to her that even in the gay and ultra-fashionable world in which they moved people spoke of him as "that mad Challoner," and were saying that he was going a pace that was rapidly carrying him far beyond the horizon of anything like respectability - going to the dogs, in truth, as fast as her money could take him there.

Now Miriam Challoner was not one of those women who deceive themselves, if not their friends, when they say that if ever they hear of their husbands doing such-and-such-a-thing they know perfectly well what they will do. It is true that, like them, she did nothing; nevertheless, she could not be persuaded to discuss with any one the humiliating position in which her husband had placed her.

Paperback. Condici�n: New. Print on Demand. This book's central figure is Lawrence Challoner, a man whose once lavish lifestyle has been fading away due to his extravagance. Driven by his passion, he places his last hopes on a high-stakes game of cards against his rival, Colonel Hargraves. What ensues is a tale of jealousy, revenge, and a desperate struggle for survival and love. It delves into the themes of passion, loss, and societal expectations, as Lawrence grapples with the consequences of his reckless actions and the yearning for a life that seems to be slipping away. Ultimately, the book offers a poignant reflection on the human condition and the complexities of the heart's desires. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
