![The Sweet Dove Died (Bello)](https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1387272124l/19523620._SX98_.jpg)

The two men become rivals for the affection of Leonora, who clearly prefers James, but the friendship develops only because the young man is willing to play along with the woman's need to be assured of her elegance and dignity.
