The elderly guy opened the door to the little salon de lecture and remarked, "I guess my daughter is in here."

The elderly guy opened the door to the little salon de lecture and remarked, "I guess my daughter is in here." When George Flack discovered Mr. Dosson sitting on the hotel's court, he asked him where Miss Francina was. There were indistinct prostrations on seats of exhausted heads of American families, flittings of tray-bearing waiters and unheeded bells, discussions with landladies and sayings-fourth of admonitory landlady. Mr. Flack visited every day for the next month to lead them in the correct direction, pointing out its benefits in a way that made them realize how greatly they had erred. He had accepted from the beginning the notion that she was his enemy, and he made this point frequently enough to become grating. However, he purposefully kept quiet because he didn't want to attract any attention from strangers. While Francie gave the two guys coffee, he was smoking cigarettes with a buddy, which she found to be extremely nice. She had the same effect on the man who was with him and who never looked away from her as she continued to work on a number of completed and incomplete paintings. The night they accompanied Mr. Probert to the circus, Delia had erupted; she had apostrophized Francie while they were each sitting on red-damask chairs in their own rooms.

Autorenporträt
Born in 1843 in New York City, Henry James was the son of theologian Henry James Sr. and the brother of philosopher William James. He spent his formative years between Europe and America, receiving an eclectic education that exposed him to diverse cultures and ideas. This transatlantic upbringing profoundly influenced his literary perspective, leading him to explore the contrasts between the Old and New Worlds in his works.James's literary career began with short stories and critical essays, but he gained prominence with novels like The American (1877) and Daisy Miller (1878). His writing often delved into the complexities of social interactions and the subtleties of personal relationships, reflecting his keen observations of society. His nuanced characterizations and intricate narratives earned him a reputation as a master of psychological realism.In his later years, James continued to produce significant works, including The Wings of the Dove (1902) and The Ambassadors (1903). He became a British citizen in 1915, a year before his death in 1916, underscoring his deep connection to Europe. Today, Henry James is celebrated as a pivotal figure in 19th-century literature, whose exploration of consciousness and perception paved the way for modernist writers.
