December Love by Robert Hichens, A Romance Novel set in England not so numerous years ago. **** He was a very ancient hand at the social game; he loved to play it; and he wanted as numerous as possible to join in, provided, of course, that they were suitable for such a purpose.

All these years in London and not know Adela Sellingworth!
