Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Soul of Life: Or What Is Love?
By turns she commanded, dictated, smiled, fascinated. She dominated the room by her mere presence in it. She was an autocratic sovereign in the society of willing slaves.
Suddenly she clapped her hands sharply and lay back amongst the cushions, her eyes closed.
It was a well-known signal. A moment later the room was empty, save for an old woman, slightly deformed, who was moving about noise lessly - arranging ?owers, folding lengths of gorgeous brocade, hanging up dresses in the vast wardrobes which lined the walls.
