Daisy Miller

At a Swiss hotel, a boy pockets three lumps of sugar and blames Europe for his missing teeth. Then his beautiful sister appears, and Frederick Winterbourne throws away his cigarette.

It is June in Vevey, where American tourists mingle with European aristocrats beside a startlingly blue lake. Winterbourne, an American living in Geneva, knows the rules that govern a young man’s approach to an unmarried woman—but Daisy Miller seems to leave him guessing. Pretty, direct, and hard to read, she offers him little encouragement and no clear explanation. Is Winterbourne seeing an innocent disregard for convention, or something that should make him wary?
