The more we reflect upon this question, the harder it is to answer. It involves a study of the human heart which
leads us through devious mazes of passion, out of which
it is difficult to find our way. Think of it, fair reader, not

but upon that hot-blooded, semi-barbaric princess, her
soul at a white heat beneath the combined fires of despair
and jealousy. She had lost him, but who should have
him?
-"The Lady, or the Tiger?"
