I am a dedicated fan of Edith Wharton, and probably should have appreciated these stories more as they are an opportunity to see her as she is finding her voice. Her singular, incisive way of seizing upon the way in which those who seem to have everything often turn out to have bargained away their selves, if not their souls, is there in each of the stories and the one short play included in this collection. Her protagonists are imprisoned within the bounds of social convention, just as they are in her later work, but here the plots are raw and lack the nuance that give Wharton's novels their timeless appeal.

The following spring when he went abroad Mrs. Memorall offered him letters to everybody from the Archbishop of Canterbury to Louise Michel. She did not include Mrs. Anerton however and Danyers knew from a previous conversation that Silvia objected to people who brought letters. He knew also that she travelled during the summer and was unlikely to return to Rome before the term of his holiday should be reached and the hope of meeting her was not included among his anticipations.
