Molly Brown and Grace Harlow could be compared but I find the Grace Harlow series to be inferior in character and plot. Grace also seems to be rather mechanical in feeling. Molly seems to genuinely love people though she is too perfect to be a well rounded character.

In this story Molly receives the I'm somewhat ashamed to admit I adore this series even with its faults. In this story Molly receives the bad news that she may not be able to return to school due to a failed investment. The reader is aware of exactly who buys some property from Molly's family to allow her to stay in school. This little buying of property is a bit reminiscent of Mr. Darcy's protection of Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice. Some may object to the Japanese characters portrayal. I found that to be stereotyped but not at all unkindly meant. Jul 04, Ann rated it really liked it.

With an almost superhuman effort Molly controlled her face and choked back the laughter that bubbled up irrepressibly. Nance had buried her head in her trunk until she could regain her composure.
You must feel strange and lonely. Just wait until I get down from the ladder and I'll show you your bedroom. It used to be the room of one of my best friends, so I happen to know it very well. Molly crawled down from the heights of the step ladder and took the little Japanese girl's brown hand in hers.
You are just down there at the end of the hall, you see. Nance had also risen to the occasion by this time, and now shook Miss Otoyo Sen's hand with a great show of cordiality, to make up for her crimson face and mouth still unsteady with laughter. They conducted the Japanese girl to her room and turned on the lights. There were two new-looking American trunks in the room and two cases covered with matting and inscribed with mystic Japanese hieroglyphics. Wired to the cord wrapping was an express tag with "Miss O. Sen, Queen's Cottage, Wellington," written across it in plain handwriting.
Better unpack to-night, because to-morrow will be a busy day for you. It's the opening day, you know. If we can help you, don't hesitate to ask. She found Nance giving vent to noiseless laughter in the Morris chair. Tears were rolling down her cheeks and her face was purple with suppressed amusement.
Molly often said that, when Nance did laugh, she was like the pig who died in clover. When he died, he died all over. When Nance succumbed to laughter, her entire being was given over to merriment. It was all participles.

How do you suppose she ever made the entrance examinations? It's just speaking that stumps her. But wasn't she killingly funny? When she said 'my estates have unto this place arriving come,' I thought I should have to departing go along with you. But it would have been rude beyond words. What a dear little thing she is! I think I'll go over later and see how she is.
America must be polite to her visitors. But Japan, always beforehand in ceremonious politeness, was again ahead of America in this respect. Just before ten o'clock the mouse's tail once more brushed their door and Nance's sharp ears catching the faint sound, she called, "Come in. Miss Otoyo Sen entered, this time less timidly, but with the same deprecating smile on her diminutive face.

Then she produced a beautiful Japanese scroll at least four feet in length. In the background loomed up the snow-capped peak of the ever-present sacred mountain, Fujiyama, and the foreground disclosed a pleasing combination of sky-blue waters dotted with picturesque little islands connected with graceful curving bridges, and here and there were cherry trees aglow with delicate pink blossoms. But aren't you robbing yourself? I beg you assurance. Otoyo have many suchly. Beautiful young ladies do honor by accepting humbly gift. Queen's step ladder is so much in demand that it's very much like the snowfall in the river, 'a moment there, then gone forever.
The two girls moved the homely but coveted ladder across the room, and, with much careful shifting and after several suggestions timidly made by Otoyo, finally hung up the scroll. It really glorified the whole room and made a framed lithograph of a tea-drinking lady in a boudoir costume and a kitten that trifled with a ball of yarn on the floor, Nance's possession, appear so commonplace that she shamefacedly removed it from its tack and put it back in her trunk, to Molly's secret relief.
Otoyo timidly took a seat on a corner of one of the divans. The girls could not help noticing another small package which she had not yet proffered for their acceptance. But she now placed it in Nance's hand.
Will beautiful ladies accept so humbly gift? The box contained candied ginger and was much appreciated by young American ladies, the humble giver of this delightful confection being far too shy to eat any of it herself. By dint of some questioning, it came out that Otoyo's father was a merchant of Tokio.
She had been sent to an American school in Japan for two years and had also studied under an English governess.
She could read English perfectly and, strange to say, could write it fairly accurately, but, when it came to speaking it, she clung to her early participial-adverbial faults, although she trusted to overcome them in a very little while. She had several conditions to work off before Thanksgiving, but she was cheerful and her ambition was to be "beautiful American young lady. She was, indeed, the most charming little doll-like creature the girls had ever seen, so unreal and different from themselves, that they could hardly credit her with the feelings and sensibilities of a human being.
So correctly polite was she with such formal, stiff little manners that she seemed almost an automaton wound up to bow and nod at the proper moment.
