A Room with a View

by E. M. Forster

An engaged young Englishwoman abroad in Italy finds her carefully arranged future considerably less appealing after one unscheduled, unchaperoned view from a hotel window. Forster believed good taste and good sense were not nearly the same virtue, and often actively opposed each other. It is, underneath the comedy of manners, a quietly serious argument for choosing feeling over propriety.
