Eugenia, Baroness M"nster, wife of a German princeling who wishes
to be rid of her, crosses the ocean with her brother Felix to seek
out their American relatives. Their voyage is prompted, apparently,
by natural affection; but the Baroness has also come to seek her
fortune. The advent of these visitors is viewed by the Wentworths,
in the suburbs of Boston, with wonder and some apprehension. The
brilliant Eugenia fascinates her impressionable cousins and their
more worldly neighbour, but she is baffled by these people, 'to
whom fibbing was not pleasing'. Meanwhile Felix, painter of
trifling sketches, eases them all in and out of various amorous
complications, with 'no fear of not being, in the end, agreeable'.
