New York Lampooned

Miss Melville and Miss Manners have a lot in common -- they both hold courtesy to be an obligation and propriety to be an art. But only Miss Melville has to decide the appropriate response to a death threat!

With wittier-than-usual writing and better-developed characters, "Miss Melville Rides a Tiger" is one of the best in the series.
