The Scarlet Woman

The Scarlet Woman Synopsis

Excerpt from The Scarlet Woman: A Novel

There was nothing in Lancaster's appearance suggestive of pessimism. He was rather a good looking fellow, who had barely reached the prime of life. True, there was a lack of earnestness in his eyes, but otherwise he appeared healthy and vigorous. His surroundings, moreover, were not those of a man unable to command the world's good things. The room was replete with all the comforts, not only of a man of wealth, but of culture and taste. For a bachelor's snuggery it was more than usually elegant. Pictures, statuary, books, all revealed the educated, refined man.
