Lady Chasemore reflected with pleasure that it was in her brothers power to do the honours of his native land very completely. She suspected, indeed, that as he didn't like her husband (he couldn't like him, in spite of Sir Rufus's now demeaning himself so sweetly), it was a relief to him to pass him on to others--to work him off, as it were, into penitentiaries and chambers of commerce.

Autorenporträt
Henry James (1843 - 1916) was an American-born British writer. He is regarded as one of the key figures of 19th-century literary realism. He was the son of Henry James, Sr. and the brother of philosopher and psychologist William James and diarist Alice James. He is best known for a number of novels showing Americans encountering Europe and Europeans. His method of writing from a character's point of view allowed him to explore issues related to consciousness and perception, and his style in later works has been compared to impressionist painting. His imaginative use of point of view, interior monologue and unreliable narrators brought a new depth to narrative fiction.
