About this book

The Orchard of Tears is by Sax Rohmer, author of Dr. Fu-Manchu. The contents list Part I, At Lower Charleswood, Part II, Flamby in London, and Part III, The Key. On a terrace overlooking the lawns, at high noon of a perfect summer's day, Paul Mario, having finished his lunch, lay back against the cushions of a white deck-chair.

Flamby holds a hare in her lap, pets it as though it had been some docile kitten, and whispers, Sweet little Silk Ears. A room was selected by Paul for a workroom because of its outlook upon the secluded little garden with its sundial and irregularly paved paths, and because it was the largest room in the house. In a section numbered IX, Jules Thessaly says: Look, below you stretches the Capital of the greatest empire man has ever known.
