Excerpt from Chloe Malone After all, the kiss may not have been the lady's fault. She refused ever again to see the man who had kissed her and went down to her grave attended by all the bienseances; meantime the mirror had seen what it had seen. As for Chloe, when it came her time to be a woman, the mirror adorned her bedroom, and upon that wet and shiny night it gave back the snow-white and rose-red of a debutante. Chloe was making her bow to the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

You sleep on it and wake with the taste of regret on your lips. Chloe quarrelled, Chloe slept, and seven hours later Chloe woke to the shrill clamor of the telephone just outside her door. "Is it for me, chere p'tite?" she called quickly, and then relaxed and waited, dark hair flowing over her pillow, dark eyes thoughtful. From the hall her mother's voice replied to her. Mrs. Malone had never lost the soft Gallic cadences of her youth. "Chloe, it is Dan." "So I suppose," said Chloe grimly to herself. She got out of bed, slipped her feet into sandals, drew on a faded pink kimono that had once been vivid, and went out of the room. Her face was unsmiling when she picked up the receiver, but with the first word that sang against her ear she flushed and softened. "Sorry?" said Dan Kinloch at the other end of the wire.

"Don't be absurd." "Even if I don't do things myself and can't understand a man who does?" "Please, Dan--" "Even if I am lazy and can't understand a man who works?" "It's perfectly true, but I had no right to say it to you." "Even if I do put you before everything else, and it's the wrong place for you?
