1912. 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 of which The Valiants of Virginia was one. The book begins:
Failed! ejaculated John Valiant blankly, and the hat he held
dropped to the claret-colored rug like a huge white splotch of
sudden fright. The Corporation-failed! The young man was the glass
of fashion, from the silken ribbon on the spotless Panama to his
pearl-gray gaiters, and well favored-a lithe stalwart figure, with
wide-set hazel eyes and strong brown hair waving back from a candid
forehead. The soft straw, however, had been wrung to a wisp between
clutching fingers and the face was glazed in a kind of horrified
and assiduous surprise, as if the rosy peach of life, bitten, had
suddenly revealed itself an unripe persimmon. See other titles by
this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
