Madame Violette  stood before the open window, sensing the heat which came in waves from pavements and buildings, sniffing at the stagnant air, watching the seething, sweltering humanity on the street below her.
She glanced up at the blazing sky and into a yellowish haze that seemed to be making an ineffectual attempt to counteract the work of the merciless sun.
“There will be a storm,” she whispered to herself. “I can feel it—there is going to be a storm!”
Madame Violette sighed and turned away from the window, and for a moment regarded her reflection in the full-length mirror in one corner of the room. She saw a rather stout person of fifty, with an abundance of hair which was “touched up” continually, a face that knew frequent massage, hands that were well kept and often manicured. Madame Violette represented the ever-present tragedy of a woman refusing to grow old, clinging to a youth that was past and gone, seeking yet some things that had been denied her.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Johnston McCulley

O nome e a imagem de Zorro são conhecidos em todo o mundo, desde a estreia do personagem em The All-Story Weekly, uma revista semanal popular. Zorro nasceu da ocupada máquina de escrever de Johnston McCulley.
McCulley nasceu em 1883 em Ottowa, Illinois, nos Estados Unidos e foi criado na cidade vizinha de Chillicote. Começou a sua carreira de escritor como repórter policial e tornou-se um prolífico autor de ficção.
Contribuiu para revistas populares da época como Argosy, Western Story Magazine, Detective Story Magazine, e Blue Book. Os seus romances eram frequentemente reimpressos. Escreveu argumentos para cinema e televisão.
Inspirado pelo sucesso de Zorro, McCulley desenvolveu vários romances ambientados na Califórnia espanhola. Revistas como Argosy chamaram-lhes frequentemente como histórias de «Zorro-land»!
Entre os seus outros personagens estão The Crimson Clown, Thubway Tham, The Thunderbolt, e The Green Ghost.
McCulley morreu a 23 de novembro de 1958 em Los Angeles, Califórnia.
