Â
One character in this novel feels as if he has stepped into the frame of a painting after taking a train ride to search for a certain shade of green that he had seen in a landscape by Lambinet many years ago. Â That character, when lonely, visits Notre Dame, often encountering the same woman in prayer, whom he discovers to be an acquaintance. Â A description of life as a "tin mould," either being overly ornate or hopelessly dull, is made by one character in a speech to (*) Little Gilham in this novel in which he claims that "one has the illusion of freedom" and that one must "live all you can." Â In this novel, Waymarsh and Sarah Pocock are among those who do not see the charms of Paris, while Lambert Strether fails to bring Chad Newsome back to his mother in America. Â For 10 points, name this novel by Henry James.
