A Well Read, Decent Short Story

This is a short pleasant story composed by Edna Ferber. I am studying her writing at this time, and I would say that this short story is consistent with her early writing style. The story reminds me, mildly, of an early novel, "Fanny Herself". That is the only Edna Ferber novel that I have thus far read.

I read along as I listed to this audiobook and the performance was completely faithful to the written story. The written story can be accessed online for free. Thank You...
