An American girl in Paris tells a chatty compatriot everything about the aristocratic French family she is to marry into, and he prints all of it in a society paper back home. James settled in England and took British nationality at the last; this 1888 novella is his funniest treatment of the American press, and the horror of the French relations at being written about is done without one raised voice.
