I thought I was downloading a book or a novella... not a short story! Or, as it turns out... two short stories.A more realistic description would have been nice... so that I could have chosen to read this while I was waiting in a doctor's office or someplace like that.The Duchess almost falls into the "wrong" society when shopping for something to surprise her husband.She admired the chunky bracelets of some of the high society ladies... and one lady took her bracelet off and showed her the tattoo underneath that was hidden by the bracelet. She decided to get the tattoo... but when she went to the tattoo artist recommended, after talking with her for a while... he told her he didn't want her to get the tattoo.After a while, for the next big gathering, she decides to buy a big chunky bracelet so it will look to her friend as though she got the tattoo.Then, after the gathering, she learns what the tattoo really stands for!The stories were good for short stories. So if you like to read short stories... then this is for you.
