The Story of a Modern Woman
Authorship not stated
Your father, a famous scientist, has just died, and a reporter is already at the door asking for his last words. Vincent Hemming, an old family friend, offers comfort he cannot quite name, but it is Alison Ives who arrives already dressed for a fight, through the funeral, the solicitor's accounting, and the question of what becomes of you and your younger brother Jimmie now. By midnight you have rooms of your own, a letter of introduction to an art school, and one day to answer it.
