My Mortal Enemy

122 pp. 8vo. Myra has been raised in luxury, which she romantically abandons to elope with the impoverished Oswald Henshawe. As the years pass, however, the shabby gentility of an apartment frequented by the artistic community of Old New York gives way to real poverty in a jerrybuilt hotel.
