This particular volume includes the novella "Miss Harriet" along with an additional story titled "L'Orient - Un Million." The focus of the texts revolves around complex characters and their tumultuous relationships, delving into themes of love, desire, and existential reflection. The opening of "Miss Harriet" sets thestage with a group of travelers, including a painter, who embark on an excursion to explore the ruins of Tancarville. Among them is an intriguing character, Miss Harriet, an elderly Englishwoman who is perceived as eccentric and a bit of an outsider by the local villagers. Throughout their interactions, the narrator describes her passion for nature and her attempts to maintain a virtuous outlook in a world that seems to reject her. As the story evolves, it hints at deeper emotional connections and ultimately tragic turns, foreshadowing a poignant exploration of isolation and the human experience.
