Grier becomes obsessed with winning Sheila's love and uses his wealth and influence to try to break up her engagement. Meanwhile, Stafford is struggling to make a name for himself in the art world and is torn between his love for Sheila and his desire for success.As the story unfolds, the characters are forced to confront the consequences of their actions and the true nature of their relationships. The Money Master is a gripping tale of love, ambition, and betrayal that explores the complex and often dark side of human nature.The air was like a mellow wine, and the light on the landscape was full of wistfulness. It was a thing so exquisite that a man of sentiment like Jean Jacques in his younger days would have wept to see. And the feeling was as palpable as the seeing; as in the early spring the new life which is being born in the year, produces a febrile kind of sorrow in the mind. But the glow of Indian summer, that compromise, that after-thought of real summer, which brings her back for another good-bye ere she vanishes for ever--its sadness is of a different kind. Its longing has a sharper edge; there stir in it the pangs of discontent; and the mind and body yearn for solace. It is a dangerous time, even more dangerous than spring for those who have passed the days of youth.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
