THE ROMANTIC YOUNG LADY, a Short Story by Somerset Maugham

A man reminisces in a Seville hotel lounge, encountering an old acquaintance, Marquesa de San Esteban, once known as Pilar Carreon. Pilar had a scandalous past involving a love affair with her coachman, José Leon, defying her noble mother’s wishes. Despite societal pressures, Pilar chose love over status, but ultimately José prioritized his job over their relationship..... won't reveal more or the ending here.

I've become addicted to these stories, thank you Neuralsurfer. The man in the foreground of this picture has both a bow tie and regular tie. I can't unsee it

Maugham 's the word.
Hahahaha

[@c.a.savage5689]

Strangely unsatisfying as a story. The characters were uniformly unsympathetic and l forgot (like the narrator) who the woman from the beginning was by the end of the story. The ending left me entirely nonplussed. But thank you for posting. The other stories are wonderful.
