0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Paris and London Society, 1910, International Intrigue By Dharma Captain Austen Rotherby is on a mission of revenge in Paris. Standing outside of the Opera, he surveys the haute monde as they exit:"I took up my place just inside, close to one of the pillars, and, with an unlit cigarette still in my mouth, watched the flying chausseurs, the medley of vehicles outside, the soft flow of women in their white opera cloaks and jewels, who with their escorts came streaming down the stairs and out of the great building, to enter the waiting carriages and motor-cars drawn up in the privileged space within the enclosure, or stretching right down into the Boulevard. I stood there, watching them drive off one by one. I was borne a little nearer to the door by the rush of people, and I was able, in most cases, to hear the directions of the men as they followed their womankind into the waiting vehicles. In nearly every case their destination was one of the famous restaurants. Music begets hunger in most capitals, and the cafés of Paris are never so full as after a great night at the Opera. To-night there had been a wonderful performance. The flow of people down the stairs seemed interminable. Young women and old,--sleepy-looking beauties of the Southern type, whose dark eyes seemed half closed with a languor partly passionate, partly of pride; women of the truer French type,--brilliant, smiling, vivacious, mostly pale, seldom good-looking, always attractive. A few Germans, a fair sprinkling of Englishwomen, and a larger proportion still of Americans, whose women were the best dressed of the whole company. I was not sorry that I had returned. It was worth watching, this endless stream of varying types."One of those who he sees is the young Felicia Delora, accompanied by her uncle Maurice. Rotherby is accosted by Louis, the Maitre D'Hotel from the Milan Hotel in London. Bored, they go to an underworld nightclub, where Rotherby settles a score.Wheels upon wheels is the device of this novel. Back in London, Rotherby is enamored of Felicia, but her uncle disappears. Soon they are caught up in a plot to transfer armaments between foreign powers. Much of the action centers on the Milan Hotel (which is actually the Savoy, but so-named by Oppenheim in many of his novels).Crisp, compulsive, and wonderful descriptions of pre-war London and Paris.1910
