Cecily You've gone and read another Wharton! And I haven't even written my review of our buddy read yet! Anyway, well done, and I'm glad this at least as good as the ones we shared.

Thank you, Cecily. It was only a one-off short story, but an extremely good one at that.

You're welcome, Kevin!
I thought the same of many of this short story's quotes. It was packed full of beautiful lines. :-)

Ilse A wonderful story, I entirely agree, Kevin! Satire can be coarse and rough, one rarely finds it in such an elegant shape as Wharton’s - without being the less barbed for it.
