Transformation of Philip Jettan: (later published as Powder and Patch)

When a young squire is rejected by his lady love as "a raw country bumpkin," he retreats to Paris to acquire refinement. Returning as a fashionably attired man of the world, Philip Jettan discovers that he might have lost his sweetheart along with his rough edges. This edition includes the original final chapter, which was removed when the novel was republished as Powder and Patch.

Cand un tanar scutier este respins de dragostea doamnei sale ca „un crud de tara”, el se retrage la Paris pentru a obtine rafinament. Revenind ca un om imbracat la moda al lumii, Philip Jettan descopera ca ar fi putut sa-si fi pierdut iubita impreuna cu marginile aspre.
