About this book
A chilly palace bedroom opens Emily Post's novel about the costs of aristocratic life. Princess Sansevero, an American married into an Italian family, worries over worn linen, household expenses and her husband's latest financial venture. Her niece Nina Randolph, a wealthy American heiress, may soon visit. The prospect brings American wealth into rooms whose grand furnishings conceal practical discomfort.
Marriage and social standing share space with the business of earning a fortune. John Derby explains a new process for drawing purified sulphur from underground deposits, and Prince Sansevero sees a possible use for his unsuccessful mine in Sicily. The conversations connect American enterprise with Italian family fortunes.
