Description
Richard Harding Davis's The Princess Aline opens by bringing its heroine into a young man's life at exactly the right moment. H. R. H. the Princess Aline of Hohenwald entered Morton Carlton's life at the moment his affairs and heart were readiest for her. Three years sooner or later, she would likely have passed with only a look of admiring curiosity. Coming when she did, she led him into several wise and many foolish things.
Carlton, called Morney, had become his own master at twenty, with fine connections but no family besides a bachelor uncle. Against that uncle's wishes he left Harvard to study art in Paris. There he worked harder than men less careful of dress and manners. By twenty-six he was a portrait-painter of international reputation. The French government bought one of his paintings for the Luxembourg, and millionaires and ambassadors sat before his easel.
