Excerpt from An Ardent American

My mother is all the contrary from me, she likes Europe and has remarried herself to a German diplomat, which makes that I have a little German brother and sister. We have dwelt in Rome and Paris, Vienna and Madrid, and every summer we pass a few months in my step - father's castle near Hanover; but although so carefully reared as a European young girl my heart has never ceased to be American.

Excerpt from An Ardent American

I have decided to write my Memoirs for I think the next two months will be a very interesting period of my life. As the Comte de Segur says, "In writing one's Memoirs one must be an actor, not an author"; so without reserve I shall take the first rôle.

In case these pages are read by strangers, I shall firstly explain who I am. My name is Yvonne Carrington. I am eighteen. I have a little more than five feet and a half of height, thus I am tall. I am blond with eyes gray-blue, and a waist rather fine. I am a half orphan as my beloved father died when I was childish. Alas! I was born and elevated in Europe which makes that I speak my maternal tongue imperfectly, but I shall quickly learn, and I am writing my Memoirs in English with the help of a dictionary, not only as a lesson but also for my pleasure.
