About this book

A delayed family visit leaves a restless young American looking for company beside an Italian lake. At the Hotel du Lac in Valedolmo, Jerymn Hilliard Jr. complains to Gustavo, the waiter, that scenery and sightseeing have already lost their appeal. Their conversation turns his boredom into comedy, as Gustavo tries to suggest amusements and Jerry makes dramatic complaints about sisters, aunts and another week of waiting.

Jean Webster's romantic novel brings American visitors together through teasing conversations and competing expectations. In a scene aboard the Farfalla, Constance recounts an old schoolgirl admiration for Jerry while Tony listens closely and mishandles a rope. Hotel routines, family letters and lakeside company give the story its social setting.
