When the children seek a new life in Paris they are ill-equipped for the dangers, deception and evil that they encounter.

In Esmeralda, the story is told by a French Tutor who paints the picture of an American family who are have recently become very rich indeed due to success in iron. The tale centres on the daughter Esmeralda and her mother's scheming to progress the family into Parisian high society. In Little Saint Elizabeth, the heroine is brought up very strictly by a religious aunt in France. On the aunt's death she moves to live with a very wealthy uncle in the USA.
