To the house in Paris, with its curtained, waxed, formal parlour, come two children, sent on different quests. English Henrietta, twelve years old, conventional but not unfeeling - and Leopold, ten, with his disconcerting manner and unknown background. Upstairs, ill, lies the mysterious Madame Fisher. How does the Leopold mystery link up with the past of this house?
To the elucidation of this mystery, and to its trappings, Elizabeth Bowen brings all her vitality and curiosity, her poetic feeling, her wit, and her delight in human beings and in the use of words.
