Max du Veuzit 
Arlette and his shadow 

To avoid her father-in-law’s assiduity, Arlette Dalimours left her province to live alone in Paris. Faced with the inheritance of a very rich aunt on her wedding day – this is a clause in her original parent’s will – Arlette enters into a ‘white’ union with a man much older than her, in return for a pension she will pay him. Arlette thus became Mrs. Lussan, but her husband suddenly died a year later ‘for fun’ without the spouses having been able to see each other again.

When, later, Arlette meets a young man, Pierre, who loves her and whom she loves, she won’t dare admit to him the deceit of her marriage with Mr. Lussan. And this Pierre – she will soon learn – is none other than her first husband’s nephew….. Will he be her second husband? But there are tricks that cost their authors dearly….
