About this eBook

This is a most amusing little story of what we may call the genteel farce kind. Mrs. Pendleton, who has been a pronounced flirt in her married life, becomes a widow at twenty-four, and receives simultaneous offers of marriage from four admirers. It must, she thinks, be a practical joke; to avenge the insult she engages herself to the four.

About the author

Gertrude Franklin Horn Atherton (October 30, 1857 June 14, 1948) was an American author. Many of her novels are set in her home state of California. Her bestseller Black Oxen (1923) was made into a silent movie of the same name. In addition to novels, she wrote short stories, essays, and articles for magazines and newspapers on such issues as feminism, politics, and war. She was strong-willed, independent-minded, and sometimes controversial, especially for her anti-communism.
