1904. Vance, American screenwriter, short story writer and novelist, begins Terence O'Rourke: Madame Therese was of a heavy build-round and stout and comfortable-looking; nevertheless she possessed a temper. The vicious bang of the door behind her was evidence of that sufficient unto O'Rourke, even if he had not the memory of her recent words to remind him of the fact.
