Description
Ruby M. Ayres tells The Phantom Lover, published by Grosset and Dunlap in New York in 1921, under a copyright by W. J. Watt and Company. Ayres, author of A Bachelor Husband and The Scar, dedicates the book to her friend Janet Moore, the real June Mason in the story. Somewhere out in the night a woman cries, a monotonous sound breaking the silence of the street and floating through the window of Micky Mellowes's room.
Micky, in a bad temper, wonders how he shall get through the evening before him. He woke with a headache and learned half an hour before that his dinner party is off, owing to the death of a relative. New Year's Eve makes matters worse, and he wonders whether Marie Deland feels as sick about it as he does. His flirtation with Marie bids fair to develop into something deeper, with engineering on his part.
