The Damsel Of The Three Skirts: The Child Of My Wife is a novel written by Charles Paul De Kock and first published in 1903. The story revolves around a young woman named Louise, who is known as the Damsel of the Three Skirts due to her unique attire. She is married to a wealthy man named Monsieur de la Roche, but their marriage is unhappy and loveless. One day, Louise meets a young man named Georges, and they fall deeply in love. However, their happiness is short-lived when Louise discovers that she is pregnant with Georges' child. She is torn between her love for Georges and her duty to her husband, and ultimately decides to keep the child and raise it as her own. The novel explores themes of love, duty, and sacrifice, as well as the societal expectations placed on women during the time period in which it was written. It is a poignant and emotional tale that will resonate with readers even today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
