Description

"The Chicago Princess" is a Western multi-millionaire's daughter, and, equally, of course (as is usual in novels), one expects her to be a little vulgar and unschooled in the refinement native to her father's secretary, an impecunious young Englishman who, if not himself son of a hundred earls, is avowedly near kin to a member of the British aristocracy.

We are not prepared, however, for the extravagant vulgarity of Mr Barr's princess.

One instance: They are yachting in Oriental waters, and she suddenly conceives a desire to visit the Korean Emperor.

They arrive at Seoul, and an audience is obtained through the secretary's influence, during which the remarkable young woman takes affront at his Majesty and catches him a slap on the side of his face that sounded through the hall like the report of a pistol.
