Klappentext

Reproduction of the original, first published in 1900. An English translation of the French novel "La Fausse Maîtresse", written in the mid-19th-century. Count Adam Laginski and his wife Clementine live happily in Paris until she grows interested in Adam's devoted friend Thaddee, who manages their affairs from the shadows. To discourage her attention, Thaddee invents a scandalous mistress, a deception that spirals into an elaborate ruse involving a circus performer, borrowed money, and secret surveillance to protect a friendship.
