Produced by David Widger from page images generously provided by the Internet Archive "Mademoiselle Miss and Other Stories" by Henry Harland is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The stories revolve around themes of innocence, experience, and the complexities of relationships as they explore the lives of various characters in Paris and beyond. The titular character, Mademoiselle Miss, is introduced in the first story, leaving a profound impact on those around her, indicating her significance in the narratives to follow. The opening of "Mademoiselle Miss" sets a melancholic tone, depicting the emotional turmoil experienced by a group of friends after the departure of Mademoiselle Miss, who has left for England. The narrator reflects on the profound sense of loss and the change in Paris that accompanies her absence, revealing how her allure and innocence have captivated her companions. As they cope with the void left by her, they reminisce about their initial misunderstandings of her character, hinting at the layers to her identity that will be further explored throughout the collection. This initial glimpse establishes the foundations for the complex interactions and themes of perception and reality that Harland intricately weaves into his storytelling.
