About this book
Beatrix Dane has attracted the attention of Sidney Lorimer, a wealthy man whose past gives her reason to hesitate. Her friend Sally sees an excellent match and urges her to overlook his conduct. At a New York recital, however, Beatrix finds her thoughts absorbed by the voice of Cotton Mather Thayer, a singer recently returned from years in Germany and Italy. Anna Chapin Ray places these encounters among drawing-room conversations, social ambitions and arguments about what makes a suitable husband.
Music also supplies a working world beyond the parties. Thayer rehearses with a chorus, while Bobby Dane arrives to cover a concert for the press and jokes about the language of criticism. The novel pairs Beatrix's serious uncertainty with brisk, teasing exchanges between friends.
