Plot
In the main tale, Madeline's great-grandfather dies, and he ends up leaving her a fairly large inheritance. Madeline and her classmates, under the direction of their teacher, Miss Clavel, go to America and have a wonderful vacation. It just so turns out that, much to Madeline's regret, she cannot claim the inheritance her great-grandfather left for her until she is an adult. While Madeline, her classmates and their teacher ultimately return to Paris, Madeline desires to eventually return to America.
