A Transient Guest and Other Stories by Edgar Saltus :
Contents:
A TRANSIENT GUEST.
THE GRAND DUKE'S RUBIES.
A MAID OF MODERN ATHENS.
FAUSTA.
Eden An Epsidoe by Edgar Saltus - It was not until Miss Menemon's engagement to John Usselex was made public that the world in which that young lady moved manifested any interest in her future husband. Then, abruptly, a variety of rumors were circulated concerning him. A humorous story by Edgar Saltus.
The Truth About Tritrem Varick - It is just as well to say at the onset that the tragedy in which Tristrem Varick was the central figure has not been rightly understood. The world in which he lived, as well as the newspaper public, have had but one theory between them to account for it, and that theory is that Tristrem Varick was insane. Tristrem Varick was not insane. He had, perhaps, a fibre more or a fibre less than the ordinary run of men; that something, in fact, which is the prime factor of individuality and differentiates the possessor from the herd; but to call him insane is nonsense. If he were, it is a pity that there are not more lunatics like him.
