The Golden House

"The Golden House" by Charles Dudley Warner is a story set in a time of great social change where artists and dreamers come together. It kicks off with a fancy party in a studio, where folks are waiting for an exciting performance. When a Spanish dancer takes the stage, everyone's hooked, but they're also thinking about what's right and wrong. Jack Delancy and his wife, Edith, are at the party, but they have different ideas about life. Edith is all about doing good, while Jack is more interested in having fun. The scene shows how the book will tackle big ideas about beauty, morals, and what people are searching for in a world of fancy parties and privilege.
