Post Mortem
Majesty
"Let me tell you about the very rich. They are different from you and me..." Fitzgerald could have been describing Emily Castleton, one of his most famous flappers. This archtype of the poor little rich girl was different from everyone. At 24, Emily's score was one affair, many engagements, and an embittered heart when she settled for Brevoort Blair – the catch of the year.
The Assassin
Lily Christine
Lily is threatened with divorce by her husband after spending an innocent night with friend Rupert Harvey.
The Youngest Comrade
Mister Jack Hollins Against Fate
Black Exchange
In the early 1920s, Germany was in a state of economic chaos, crippled by reparations; the value of the Mark fell until it impoverished the middle-class. One victim was Herr Tonn, whose avarice led him to 'sell' his own daughter and steal money to make more on the black exchange.
