ARMS AND THE WOMAN
CHAPTER I
The first time I met her I was a reporter in the embryonic state and

high red brick walls which were half hidden by clusters of green vines,
and at the base of which nestled earth-beds, radiant with roses and
poppies and peonies and bushes of lavender lilacs, all spilling their
delicate ambrosia on the mild air of passing May.
