At fifteen, she says, "I regretted that I was not a genius; at five and twenty, I rejoice that I made the discovery so early, and so gave myself time to become grateful for the small gifts bestowed upon me. Why should I eat out my heart with envy? Is it not possible that I might be a less clever woman than I am, and a less lucky one?"

Disappointingly weak short story from the author of [b:The Secret Garden|2998|The Secret Garden|Frances Hodgson Burnett|https://d202m5krfqbpi5.cloudfront.net/books/1327873635s/2998.jpg|3186437]. A French couple gossip about and meet an American family in Paris. The accents grate, the ending is predictable. It's not downright horrible, but there's little to recommend this piece, and it certainly doesn't match Burnett's best.
