Summary

The typical South Coast Hotel Beauregarde is peopled by the old, the lonely and the indigent. At table number seven, a "self-made" army colonel, without any of the background and education to which he lays claim, finds solace with a spinster, despite the objections of her ruthless, domineering mother. When a sordid scandal threatens to drive them apart, the hotel manager, Miss Cooper, comes to the rescue.

Table Number Seven is also available, paired with Table by the Window, as part of Separate Tables.
