This novel's narrator proclaims that until the protagonist appeared, "the world had only known apples...The best apples that can be, for sure, but still only apples!" This novel infuriated James Whistler by caricaturing him as the "idle apprentice" Joe Sibley. In the beginning of this novel, one character scratches an outline of the protagonist's beautiful left foot on the wall of his studio. The title character models for Taffy, the Laird, and Little Billie, and later sings Schumann's "Nussbaum," "Ben Bolt," and Chopin's Impromptu in A flat during her triumphant debut in Paris. However, the title character's debut in London is a fiasco when she is unable to maintain eye contact with her husband. FTP, name this book about Miss O'Ferrall, who becomes a virtuoso singer after being hypnotized by Svengali, a novel by George Du Maurier which inspired a craze for a namesake type of hat.
