Democratic Britain and France were reported trying to get Democrat Davis to wend his appeasing way to Berlin and Rome, beard Hitler and Mussolini with blandishments. The Paris newspundit Pertinax suggested that the Great Powers might succeed if President Roosevelt would find a way to permit Germany and Italy to borrow hugely in return for agreements by Berlin and Rome to cease arriving and give concessions "such as to involve the practical disappearance of Hitlerism and Fascism"-this being Pertinax'?, sly way of saying that Mr. Davis faces the supreme challenge to his optimism.

Not only does the author capture the mood of her subject, but the very spirit of the times--the seventies in the continental capitals, Rome, Paris, Naples, and the rest. From life on the picturesque Riviera of the last Nineteenth Centry with its lazy and peaceful atmosphere we are wafted to the sordid dampness and depression of artists' studios on the Rive Gauche, with their moments of artificial happiness at the cost of bitter enmities...
