A young man kept in the wrapping by his father until he is twenty-eight — betrothed since childhood to a girl he has never seen — is finally released into Europe, and falls immediately for a clever woman who has no intention of marrying him. James settled in England and took British nationality at the last; this 1874 story is his lightest treatment of the innocent abroad, and the woman is the honest one in it.
