The Tigress

Popular novel, first published in 1916. The story begins: ""I do hope you are not going to weep!" said Nina. She and he sat on a far-sheltered corner of the terrace in the gray shadow, and she had just told him that "everything was over." As "everything" had been going on for the best part of three months, it was, perhaps, only natural that she should experience some concern as to how he meant to take it.”
