Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Butterfly Man
Mrs. Trend was parsimonious. She had had the bad luck to be born in severe poverty; the silver dollar of her childhood days was a very portentous thing; she never quite got over the feeling that it was a portentous thing. But, despite the fact that she pinched here and there and looked to it that there was no unnecessary waste, her aftairs were very smart. Mr. Trend was very rich and their home was in truth a mansion. It is of small consequence that Mr. Trend went to bed early; he was never missed. He went to bed early because he had to get up early. His presence at one of her func tions would have caused no little surprise and Specula tion among her guest's, surprise to those who knew him personally or by sight, and speculation among those who did not.

Excerpt from The Butterfly Man
The dinner was being given by Mrs. Cortlandt Trend; that, in itself, was sufficient proof of its smartness if not entirely establishing its excellence along another line.
Mrs. Trend was parsimonious. She had had the bad luck to be born in severe poverty; the silver dollar of her childhood days was a very portentous thing; she never quite got over the feeling that it was a portentous thing. But, despite the fact that she pinched here and there and looked to it that there was no unnecessary waste, her "affairs" were very smart. Mr. Trend was very rich and their home was in truth a mansion. It is of small consequence that Mr. Trend went to bed early; he was never missed. He went to bed early because he had to get up early. His presence at one of her functions would have caused no little surprise and speculation among her guests, - surprise to those who knew him personally or by sight, and speculation among those who did not.
