Synopsis "Her Serene Highness"

ON the top floor of Grafton's house, in Michigan Avenue, there was a room filled with what he called "the sins of the fathers"-the bad pictures and statuary come down from two generations of more or less misdirected enthusiasm for art. In old age his father had begun this collection; forty years of dogged pursuit of good taste taught him much. Graftoncompleted it as soon as he came into possession.In him a Grafton at last combined right instinct and right judgment. Although he was not yet thirty, every picture dealer of note in America and Europe knew him, and he knew not only them but also a multitude of small dealers with whom he carefully kept himself unknown. He was no mere picture buyer. The pretentious plutocrats of that class excited in him contempt-and resentment. How often had one of them destroyed, with a coarse fling of a moneybag, his subtle plans to capture a remarkable old picture at a small price. For he was a true collector-he knew pictures, he knew where they were to be found, he knew how to lie in wait patiently, how to search secretly. And no small part[3] of his pride in his acquisitions came from what they represented as exhibits of his skill as a collector.
