- Summary
- "Chad Newsome, the son of a wealthy manufacturing New England vamily, has been staying in Paris long enough to be a source of great worry to his widowed mother and to all his friends and acquaintances at home. The reason for his prolonged sojourn abroad in flagrant disregard of all the possibilities awaiting him in Wollett, Massachusetts, is in the eyes of the home people obvious and a bit unspeakable: no youth would stay so long in an alien land were there not some wicked woman, some hussy, holding him in her clutches. Family feeling calls on him to return, honor calls him, business calls him. But he doesn't, he won't, either return or discuss returning. Therefore he must be brought back, and, just as obviously, not by force but by persuasion. Some one must be sent over to Paris to induce him to break away from the reprehensible woman. Strether is chosen as ambassador" -- dust jacket flap.
