Fanny Beaufort's Failure

Fanny beaufort appeared in new york at 18 after the death of her parents. She won its heart much as madame olenska had won it 30 years earlier. Granted she was pretty amusing and accomplished. What more did anyone want? Nobody was narrow minded enough to rake up against her the half forgotten facts of her father's past and her own origin. And nobody was surprised when dallis's engagement was announced.
