AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Anna Snyder, an American journalist, arrives to interview a rich young man of twenty-five who has never seen a woman. He is sheltered by a discreet man-servant who explains that his master lived in a large house standing in its own grounds and surrounded by a brick wall fifteen feet high. When the mystified journalist asks how he was educated she learns that his private tutor discovered three books in which no reference was made to the opposite sex. The man servant is horrified when Miss Snyder asks for an interview.'
