A WOMAN-HATER.
by Charles Reade


CHAPTER I.
"THE Golden Star," Homburg, was a humble hotel, not used by gay gamblers,
but by modest travelers.
At two o'clock, one fine day in June, there were two strangers in the
_salle a' manger,_ seated at small tables a long way apart, and wholly
absorbed in their own business.
One was a lady about twenty-four years old, who, in the present repose of
her features, looked comely, sedate, and womanly, but not the remarkable
person she really was.
