"Feuille d'Album" is a 1917 short story by Katherine Mansfield.
[2] Ian French is a young artist who lives alone in Paris.
One day he sees a girl his own age on the balcony of the building opposite his and becomes infatuated with her.
He sees her buying an egg in a shop, goes inside briefly after she leaves, and then follows her home.
The text is written in the modernist mode, without a set structure, and with many shifts in the narrative.
