It features "Mr. Reginald Peacock's Day," which follows a disgruntled husband who harshly criticizes his wife, and "The Wind Blows," a surprising tale about a girl's revelation surrounding a memory from her childhood. "Pictures" centers a downtrodden woman on the brink of poverty, while "The Little Governess" follows a na ve young woman as she travels from France to Munich. In Bliss and Other Stories Mansfield is able to find the spectacular in the ordinary. No matter the circumstance, the characters are faced with subtle but shocking realizations.
