Excerpt from An Ardent American
My mother is all the contrary from me, she likes Europe and has remarried herself to a German diplomat, which makes that I have a little German brother and sister. We have dwelt in Rome and Paris, Vienna and Madrid, and every summer we pass a few months in my step - father's castle near Hanover; but although so carefully reared as a European young girl my heart has never ceased to be American.
