Was that their secret? - Willa Cather Attribution: Willa Cather (1873–1947), U.S. novelist. Niel Herbert, in A Lost Lady, part I, ch. VII (1923). The disillusioned protagonist reflects bitterly on the treacheries of women after discovering (through eavesdropping) that Marian Forrester, whom he has idealized, is having an affair.
