The poor young man hesitated and procrastinated: it cost him such an effort to broach the subject of terms, to speak of money to a person who spoke only of feelings and, as it were, of the aristocracy. Yet he was unwilling to take leave, treating his engagement as settled, without some more conventional glance in that direction than he could find an opening for in the manner of the large affable lady who sat there drawing a pair of soiled gants de Suède through a fat jewelled hand and, at once pressing and gliding, repeated over and over everything but the thing he would have liked to hear. He would have liked to hear the figure of his salary; but just as he was nervously about to sound that note the little boy came back—the little boy Mrs. Moreen had sent out of the room to fetch her fan. He came back without the fan, only with the casual observation that he couldn’t find it. As he dropped this cynical confession he looked straight and hard at the candidate for the honour of taking his education in hand. This personage reflected somewhat grimly that the thing he should have to teach his little charge would be to appear to address himself to his mother when he spoke to her—especially not to make her such an improper answer as that.

Henry James Gives us the 'Moreen' Family By Poetcomic1 The seed of this justly famous novelette came to Henry James in dinner conversation - just the mention of an American born family of upstarts shady and pretentious and traveling Europe like a band of gypsies captured his imagination. The brilliant boy of the family and his tutor become the perfect psychological tools to bring out the situation in all its absurdity. The Moreen family is one of fiction's most delicious creations.

I have been a fan of Henry James since I read his famous classic horror tale, 'The Turn Of The Screw', and his other fine story, 'The Aspern Papers'. Mr. James has since proven himself to be a very prolific writer with two other great short stories; 'The Beast In The Jungle', and 'The Jolly Corner'. 'The Pupil' is a finely woven story told in 19th century prose about a student/ teacher relationship that grows through the years, and the tension they both feel, as the teacher tries to save the boy from the reality of his dismal family life.

By thelizcass This is a short story by Henry James, who would fall under Victorian literature, I think. He wrote during that time and, although he was American, he lived in England for a period of time. It revolves around a boy named Morgan and Penmberton, his tutor and the bond that they form as the boy’s affluent yet penniless family. They travel all over the world trying to make money and take care of their family. I think it’s a good example of class and how important it was at the time. Even if you were broke, if you fell into a certain class, you still earned a certain amount of respect from your piers even if you were skipping out on your hotel bills. I had a little bit of a difficult time grasping what James was really trying to say in this story. It seemed kind of pointless and, not to give too much away, kind of sad at the end. Maybe that was the point, that life has no point and bad thing happen to good people and visa-versa. It wasn’t the greatest story I’ve read, but it was food for thought. It’s kind of a quick read and probably free on Kindle. It may be worth for you to check out.
