Tu sei l’unico responsabile della tua "bella" o “brutta” vita. Cambiare la tua esistenza è possibile ed è possibile farlo in qualsiasi momento, a 15 anni come a 70. Ma non puoi cambiare la tua realtà, se prima non comprendi come è stata generata. Con questo breve racconto l’autore ci catapulta in un mondo fantastico fatto di libri che si cancellano, disegnatori di pensieri ed enormi bolle di sapone. Un sogno che di onirico, in fondo, ha ben poco.

Beautiful Kate Croy may have been left penniless by her relatives, but her bold, ambitious nature ensures she will not succumb meekly to a life of poverty. If the financial circumstances of Merton Densher, the man she is passionately in love with, are not sufficient to secure her future, perhaps her cunning will.

Kate Croy is secretly engaged to Merton Denscher, a journalist who lacks money. By chance, Kate befriends Milly, an American heiress, and learns she is suffering from a fatal illness. Kate devises a scheme to maximize their combined assets: she encourages Merton to take an interest in Milly and marry her. Kate intends to make him a rich widower whom she herself can marry. But such well-laid plans are not enough for the subtlety of the heart.
