Her dramatic sense is certainly acute. Shall she simply recite, as her father suggests? Or does life hold more? Throwing off caution, and a few choice treasures into the folds of her cloak for succour, she slips out one misty night for London, City of Love.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThence follow the struggles of an ingénue to gain the notice of the denizens of the theatre, who are themselves vulnerable votaries of fame. Gossip, parties, the Café Royal - the right connection may raise its head at any time. Finally the boards heed her call, and Sarah's caprice is made good. Surely her name is now destined to be known? But the hand of fate moves unexpectedly. . .\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCaprice\u003c\/em\u003e, first published in 1917, was Ronald Firbank's third novel.
