...becoming his mistress. But she would not marry him, she was too much older. When Son Dan and Lover Miles became great friends, that complicated things; inevitably increasing quarrels complicated them more. But Evelyn had enough grace under pressure to break away. With Dan growing up and Miles growing fond of a girl his own age, nothing was left for Evelyn. She was glad when she caught pneumonia, willing to die especially when Miles was with...
Katharine Drexel's Uncle Anthony J. ("Dandy Tony") became an international figure, fond of expensive yachts. Cousin Margaretta married the impoverished Viscount Maidstone (now Earl of Winchilsea & Nottingham). Cousin Anthony J.

Mrs. LeRoy, empire-building wife of an oriental expert, has to live at the British Legation at Peking while her children are at school in England. Time: the unpleasant present...
...Hurley write such an article for the Army & Navy Journal, U. S. citizens could only guess. Uchida.

Only to patriotic Chinese do his black-socked feet in their peg-bottom sandals look...
