Excerpt from Chloe Malone After all, the kiss may not have been the lady's fault. She refused ever again to see the man who had kissed her and went down to her grave attended by all the bienseances; meantime the mirror had seen what it had seen. As for Chloe, when it came her time to be a woman, the mirror adorned her bedroom, and upon that wet and shiny night it gave back the snow-white and rose-red of a debutante. Chloe was making her bow to the world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
