Synopsis

Excerpt from The Losing Gain

Looking back afterward, considering the romance of Evelyn and James in all its aspects, Miss Perkins was forced to admit that perhaps old Mrs. Howard had rightly earned her reputation of being a keen observer. For not even to those who liked him best, - and James Grant was the kind of man whom everybody liked because there was so lacking in him any of that aggressiveness that makes enemies, - he never seemed to be walking straightforwardly through life. Sidled was a good way to express his course, thought Miss Perkins, and there were others who agreed. Rather apologetic toward the world through which he walked, in fact.

Which is reason enough for wonder as to how James Grant and Evelyn Craig had ever reached the point of marriage, or that beautiful church ceremony over which the society editor raved for a good half column the day after the wedding.
