“The Love Chase” by Felix Grendon is a romance novel set in New York City. The story reveals the social lives and customs of the 20th century. Excerpt: “A young man of twenty-seven, a dashing Count d'Orsay type, was sitting astride a chair in flat number fifteen, one of the three-room flats in the Lorillard model tenement houses. He was alone in the room but evidently not in the flat, for he was directing animated remarks at one of two closed doors that flanked a projecting china cupboard.”
