From the cover:
A collection of four novelettes: Madames de Treymes is a polished story, set in Paris, of a cold-blooded moral blackmail; The Touchstone explores the guilt of a man whose happy marriage was possible by the sale of another woman's love letters; Sanctuary describes the emotions of a woman as her husband and son battle strong moral temptation; and Bunner Sisters poignantly depicts the tragedy of two drab sisters facing poverty, illness, and death.
