Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Siren, Vol. 2 of 3
So long, and no longer. Mark it well, enchanting Divas. Enchant if you will; 'tis your function. But do not think to enchain! Enmesh a young Marchese in the tangles of Neaera's hair. A paternal governor puts his fingers before his eyes and lets a smile be seen on his lips beneath them. But do not seek to bind him by less easily broken ties. A vigilant and moral governor frowns on the instant and a paternal government well knows how to protect its distinguished sons by very summary and effectual process. But when for a poor Diva there comes also the time when that pleasant wild-oat sowing seems no longer a promising pursuit, what does the paternal wisdom decree as to her future? Why, she must reap as she has sown - or helped to sow. See ye to it, Divas. Such providence is beyond our function.
