The Emerald Necklace

A TRAGEDY OF ERRORS

The first error was one of pride—pride that made Lady Leonora spurn the loving attentions of her commoner husband for the frivolous company of her aristocratic friends.

The second error was one of vanity—the kind of vanity that made a beautiful young woman an easy victim for the flattery of an all-too-worldly admirer. The third error was one of loyalty—loyalty to a father who would sell anything, even his daughter's honor, to save his own.

For Leonora and Etienne Lambert, those were just the opening errors in a battle royal of willful misunderstanding that would give the word marriage a whole new meaning.
