Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pam Decides "There is only one thing that makes a woman´s life happy, and that Is the thing the took. And having taken it and found it better than all the rest put together, would you have her pretend to be sorry!" - Pam Although many years have passed since her elopement with the celebrated tenor, "Guy Sacheverel," the daughter of Lord Yeoland, of Monks´ Yeoland, has never regretted the step that brought sorrow, not only to an adoring father, but also to the singer´s deserted wife, Mrs. Kennedy. Nor, would Pauline Yeoland ever consent to adopt any of the subterfuges customary with people similarly placed; but insisted on being addressed by her baptismal name. Furthermore, the true situation, together with the reasons therefor, was not withheld from their child Pam, who accordingly, when questioned as to her name, would reply ingenuously: "Just Pamela. It appears that children whose parents are not married, have only one name." Yet, notwithstanding the general disbelief in the permanency of love under such conditions, the life of her parents in the "Villa Arcadie," in Southern Italy, continued to contain a happiness so great that the child was always contrasting it with that of those in the married state, and deducing therefrom, with the incontrovertible logic of youth, that necessarily, the cause of their unhappiness must be the marriage rite. But obviously, the attractions of such a menage appealed more especially to the brilliant laxists sojourning on these shores; and among those to enjoy its hospitality were: Charnley Burke, an Australian - afterwards devoted to Pam - and the celebrated actress, Mde. Ravoglia, whose friendship lasted through life, and who bequeathed all of her jewelry to the young girl. In due course, the steward Cazalet comes from Monks´ Yeoland to fetch Pam for a visit to his Lordship; and accompanied by her nurse Pilgrim, she goes there and meets her cousins Evelyn - afterwards Lady Chesney - and Ratty, who promptly falls in love with her.
