1908. Rives, a member of one of America's oldest families and the
wife of a prominent American diplomat, authored The Modern and
Complete Book of Etiquette. As a novelist she wrote several best
sellers. The Castaway begins: A cool breeze slipped ahead of the
dawn. It blew dim the calm Greek stars, stirred the intricate
branches of olive-trees inlaid in the rose-pearl facade of sky,
bowed the tall, coral-lipped oleanders lining the rivulets, and
crisped the soft wash of the gulf-tide. It lifted the strong bronze
curls on the brow of a sleeping man who lay on the sea-beach
covered with a goatskin. See other titles by this author available
