The Emerald Necklace
Brown, Diana
A TRAGEDY OF ERRORS

The first error was one of pride -- pride that made Lady Leonora spurn the loving attentions of her commoner husband for the frivolous company of her aristocratic friends.

The second error was one of vanity -- the kind of vanity that made a beautiful young woman an easy victim for the flattery of an all-too-worldly admirer. The third error was one of loyalty -- loyalty to a father who would sell anything, even his daughter's honor, to save his own.

For Leonora and Etienne Lambert, those were just the opening errors in a battle royal of willful misunderstanding that would give the word marriage a whole new meaning.
