A trio of stories narrated by one of MaughamP#39;s most endearing characters, Miss Ley
Looking out upon the backstreets, the suburbs and the high society haunts of Edwardian London, the delightfully witty and independent spinster Miss Ley surveys a tangled web of lives; she sympathetically observes the struggle under the pressures of convention, and the complex interplay between love and reason. Through Miss LeyP#39;s eyes we witness the brief but happy marriage of a dying poet; a womanP#39;s adulterous passion for a young rascal, and finally, an honourable manP#39;s decision to take virtue to extremes.
