About this ebook
This fictional book starts about twenty-five years ago, when Pedro Gonzola bought a handsome brownstone residence at the corner of Twelfth Street and Fifth Avenue and presented it to his bride on their wedding day. As the name implied, they were of Spanish origin, and known as devout Catholics, supporting the Church spiritually and materially. Shortly before Julie was born, her father died suddenly, stricken down with heart failure. After her great misfortune, Mrs. Gonzola gave up the world and devoted herself to her religion and the care of her little daughter. Julie was sent to the Convent of the Sacred Heart on Seventeenth Street. The child was docile and receptive, yet inclined to emotional exaggeration. She would remain in the chapel long after the other children had left, and once they found her prostrate before the Virgin in a state of ecstatic self-oblivion, which ended in a fit of hysteria. Mrs. Gonzola tried conscientiously to impress her daughter with the dignity of her wealth, social position, and family distinction; but as the girl grew into a woman, there was an ever-present irritating sense of failure.
