Trevelyan's jealousy begins with nothing and ends with it. The mildly rakish attentions of Colonel Osborne, M.P., to Emily are the immediate cause, but they soon fade before the fearsome clash of wills that horrifies (i.e. entertains) London society. Reconciliation? The misunderstanding has quietly, insidiously assumed control of all, and the Trevelyans' child becomes the obvious pawn; violent schemes prepare for the fatal climax. -- Cover, page [4]
