The Red Mouse

The book is The Red Mouse. It has described a mystery and romance book. For years the best years of her life for that matter as she often reflected in lonely moments Miriam Challoner had been trying to prove to her own satisfaction that her husband was no worse than the majority of young men married to rich women, but she could never find the arguments whereby she might arrive at the desired conclusion. It is not to be wondered at then, that eventually there came a day when the information was brought to her that even in the gay and ultra fashionable world in which they moved people spoke of him as that mad Challoner, and were saying that he was going a pace that was rapidly carrying him far beyond the horizon of anything like respectability going to the dogs in truth, as fast as her money could take him there.
