  <default_description>Eugenia, an expatriated American, is the morganatic wife of a German prince, who is about to reject her in favor of a state marriage. With her artist brother Felix Young she travels to Boston to visit relatives she has never before seen, in hopes of making a wealthy marriage. The men of Boston&lt;br&gt;soon realize her deceitfulness, and she returns to Europe, feeling that her fortune-hunting scheme is impractical in unsusceptible America. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Its wit, gaiety, and what Rebecca West calls its &quot;clear sunlit charm&quot;  have made this masterly short novel the most popular of James's novels.</default_description>
