The Great Good Place is a tale of the double nature in a single breasta moving story that makes an appeal against the tyranny of affairs, of avoidable items of secondary importance as they afflict the social life of civilized man. An author, no longer able to cope with the complexities of his social and literary life, dreams of a great good place where quiet men live apart from the world and return to peace of mind. In "Europe" (1899) a passionate pilgrim longs for a voyage to the continent of her hopes and dreams, but is thwarted by the selfish intervention of her mother, who is determined to deny her daughter the wonderful experiences she herself once enjoyed. Paste is a Maupassant-like story of naked greed that becomes more powerful than even the sense of self-protection. In The Tree of Knowledge the artlessness of the works of a rich dilettante sculptor is secretly recognized by his family. To suit their own ends, however, the family members keep up the fiction of the artist's renown. The Abasement of the Northmores (1900) treats the caprices of posthumous fame. The Third Person (1900) is an ingenious story, tenderly told, of how two maiden ladies find their house to be haunted. In Maud-Evelyn, a young man is adopted into the household of an elderly couple still brooding over the death of their daughter. He falls into their emotional clutches and is accepted as their son-in-law, pretending to be the spouse of a still-living Maud-Evelyn. Miss Gunton of Poughkeepsie (1900) is a rich American and moneyed flirt who tests the family of an Italian prince of ancient lineage before she will consent to marry him.
