The Pace That Kills by Edgar Saltus Chapters I to III Read By Nancy

Edgar Saltus was an American writer known for his highly polished, somewhat lurid, and decadent prose. He was born on October 8, 1855, in New York City to a prominent family. Saltus attended Yale University, and later studied law at Columbia University, though he never practiced. His interest was primarily in writing, and his early works reflect his fascination with the Decadent Movement, a late 19th-century artistic and literary movement that was centered in Western Europe.Saltus wrote both fiction and non-fiction. His works ranged from philosophical discourses to romantic novels. Some of his well-known books include "The Philosophy of Disenchantment," "The Anatomy of Negation," and "Imperial Purple," all of which reveal his ability to weave together philosophical ideas and dramatic narratives.His writing was often characterized by its wit, irony, and intricate style, blending a rich vocabulary with complex themes. Although he was not widely known during his lifetime and his works were often met with mixed reviews, he has since been recognized for his contribution to American literature.In his book, The Pace That Kills, Roland Mistrial, once a wealthy New York aristocrat, finds himself facing unexpected financial hardship after the loss of his father, who, unbeknownst to him, squandered their wealth and gave the family estate to Alice Jacks, a woman he loved. Roland is shocked by this revelation and begins his journey to understand the circumstances leading to his loss of inheritance. His first step involves a visit to Alice Jacks, who, despite her youthful innocence, appears to wield substantial power over his inheritance, with a suspicion arising about her cousin Philip's influence over Roland's father.Seeking a way to reclaim his lost inheritance without creating a public scandal, Roland consults the Hon. Paul Dunellen, a respected lawyer. After Roland describes his predicament and his desire to guard his father's reputation, Dunellen agrees to support him and suggests a discreet investigation into the matter. Although Roland acknowledges the complexities of his situation and the difficulty of the path ahead, he remains hopeful for a resolution.
