The Custom of the Country Chapter 25

from The Edith Wharton Library · host Edith Wharton

In which Undine Marvell, finding herself dismissed from the society of her former life, withdraws to a small and quiet Riviera hotel where the mediocrity of the permanent residents contrasts sharply with her own restless spirit. She reflects on her recent adventurous but unfulfilling liaison with Peter Van Degen and endures the dull, uncertain months in Dakota, overshadowed by the unexpected fortunes of her companion, Mrs. Lipscomb.
