This story takes up the serious question of what we now call "cutting". Ms Louella Rose is a cutter and is ashamed, but that is not what everyone sees including her fiance. Everyone expects her to be "Perfect", but who can live up to that word. Even Lord Stanton knows he is not "Perfect" but calls Louella "The Perfect Debutante". Inside, Louella is an empathic and passionate woman, but the pain of being a replacement for her older sister takes on a life of its own. Lord Stanton forced to marry the woman his father chooses, because of a promise given ten years ago, accepts Louella because she is beautiful and seems "perfect". Louella can't see her beauty, because she can't see the person that she is on the inside. Lord Stanton tries to understand, but keeps wondering why he isn't enough. The story doesn't explain it very well, but it's like drugs, or alcohol. It's an escape, and something that makes her feel real.
