The Murder of Delicia
'The Murder of Delicia' Summary
She's married to a rake, and as far-seeing and prescient is Miss Vaughn in her writing, she has a notable blind spot when it comes to seeing the true colors of her husband. Everyone else knows, for God's sake, her butler, for example, various public figures around town. It's the grist of local gossip, how her husband, Lord Caryleon, who spends only his wife's hard earned money--he's never worked and lives off his title and his good looks and charm--is seeing gallivanting around with every young promiscuous dancer, such as "La Marina," a particularly saucy number from the Empire dance hall.
