367 pp. Frontispiece and plates by W. B. King. "Back to the little sleepy Southern town of Harpeth Valley, Charlotte Pavers, beautiful, materialistic, vain, returns after a winter in New York to find that Gregory Goodloe, a young preacher, who "resembled one of the big gold-colored lions that lived in the wilds of the Harpeth Mountains," had brought her circle of friends under his spell. The story concerns the conquest of the "Harpeth Jaguar" as she calls him.
