About the book: 1912 / Arnold Stafford was a rather prudent young man. It’s just that in his life, as in the life of any man, the time came when he felt a strong impulse to write a note to the soubrette who played in a musical comedy he saw; It would not do him any credit if he were too cowardly and too careful not to succumb to this impulse. And if this soubrette happened to be Betty Blair - well, have you ever seen her??
