Sounding a favorite theme—the power of the elderly, especially the power of elderly ladies—this early (1917) novel shows the influence of the author’s mentor, Henry James. It encapsulates Walpole’s gift for lighting on the small, telling detail and also his surprising humor. Second in the Rising City sequence, after The Duchess of Wrexe.
