He would be a better man for it. Mortimer Had not encountered a major mishap since the days of his youth when a rhinoceros auklet had bitten him on the butt. from then on, destiny had pampered him. He inherited a fortune- and exquisitely balanced financial phallus lovingly erected by his grandfather and his father. With the world in his hands, Mortimer began a stately run through the rich waters of trivia. And then Mortimer met Miss Vermelle MacGuffin, blue-eyed, red haired, fiery tempered. The very next day he took her to a quiet, elegant restaurant on the east side of Nob Hill; over dessert he looked squarely at her and popped the question. Miss MacGuffin accepted. She became his mistress. For many years it was a loving relationship period until a subtle change overtook Mortimer period until the advent of Virginia Lee.... Book Condition: Very Good.
