Surely the beautiful temptress who dances in the moonlight can't be the reserved prude of rumor.Instantly smitten, he finds no pleasure in his old, roguish ways, and sets about taming his nature, molding himself into the kind of man he is sure will please her.

Or does she remain as she appears, as reserved and unfeeling as paint on canvas?
