SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Cleone Charteris, whose exquisite charms have made her the belle of the English countryside, yearns for a husband who is refined, aristocratic and who is as skilled with his wit as he is with his dueling pistols; Philip Jettan departs for the courts of Paris to acquire the social graces he needs.
