That Uncertain FeelingA chic socialite cruises like a predator on the prowl. She marks an easy target... John Aneuris Lewis, an assistant librarian, who seems an uncomplicated conquest. But Lewis is both more and less than he appears. Beneath this family-man facade lurks a poet, wit and visionary...also a budding lecher, for we soon find Lewis peering down the front of the socialite's dress. No wonder he has that uncertain feeling...he's looking into a bottomless pit! |
