Translator’s Note
This delicate story is Louis Couperus’ thirdnovel. It appeared in the original Dutch some twenty-seven years agoand has not hitherto been published in America. At the time when it waswritten, the author was a leading member of what was then known as the“sensitivist” school of Dutch novelists; and the readerwill not be slow in discovering that the story possesses an elusivecharm of its own, a charm marking a different tendency from that of thelater books.
