THE FIRST BOOK
MISS KEDZIE THROPP COMES TO TOWN
CHAPTER I
Kedzie Thropp had never seen Fifth Avenue or a yacht or a butler or a glass of champagne or an ocean or a person of social prominence. She wanted to see them.
For each five minutes of the day and night, one girl comes to New York to make her life; or so the compilers of statistics claim.
This was Kedzie Thropp's five minutes.
