I just finished this book, which I found in the freebies bin at the used bookstore. It is a very interesting book in terms of the psychological manipulation that takes place between the characters. I can recognize portions of myself in every character, even the evil ones.
The trouble with innocence, "Mrs. Gansevoort went on, endeavoring to make a fine point. while reaching with her fingertips to touch a prospective blossom, "is that it provides its own sole protection against the depredations of nature; and nature---God, for that matter, the grand texts notwithstanding--- has never shown much liking for it. Nature favors the bright eye! the sharp toothy! the cunning few! Nature is a tyrant queen. Make a mistake with her, and she cuts off your head." Raymond Kennedy, "Lulu Incognito"
