This is Edith Wharton's earliest published collection of 8 short stories (1899). A selection consists: "Muse's Tragedy": Unrequited love between a poet and his muse. "The Journey": A woman journeys with her ailing husband. "The Pelican": A woman supports her son. "Souls Belated": The pressure put on couples to marry. "A Coward": A man recounts his cowardice past. "The Twilight of the God": Past lovers meet under a husbands eye. "A Cup of Cold Water": Redemption song. "The Portrait": One of Wharton's earliest short stories, when a painter paints your flaws.
