The Man Between
AN INTERNATIONAL ROMANCE
By AMELIA E. BARR
PART FIRST
O LOVE WILL VENTURE IN!
THE MAN BETWEEN
CHAPTER I
THE thing that I know least about is my
beginning. For it is possible to introduce
Ethel Rawdon in so many picturesque ways
that the choice is embarrassing, and forces me
to the conclusion that the actual circumstances,
though commonplace, may be the
most suitable. Certainly the events that shape
our lives are seldom ushered in with pomp or
ceremony; they steal upon us unannounced,
and begin their work without giving any premonition
of their importance.
