Explore "Lola-sue" by F.W. Mole on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Though Lola-Sue was not aware of it, Humphrey Pryor had used her as an instrument to further his schemes of revenge, and so far, he had been successful. He had desired not only to rise triumphant over Billy Stinson and his wife, but he had desired to make Billy Stinson realise that in casting aside Lola-Sue for Muriel Poingdestre, he had, so to speak, backed the wrong horse.
He had reasoned that if Lola-Sue's life had so affected him, it would also affect most right-thinking persons, and that a tide of human sympathy would flow towards her. In this, his reasoning was correct.
