Three Weeks, written in what Hallett likens to a haze of longing for a recently departed paramour, was an extraordinarily bold work for a writer in 1907 to publish under her own name.

哈利特将《三周》比作是对情人刚刚离去时的朦胧情思，1907年，作者用自己的名字出版了这部作品，十分大胆。

At her middle-class core, Hallett writes, she wanted " a man who possessed charm and animal force as well as cash" -the perennial dream espoused most memorably in the fiction of Jane Austen.

哈利特写道，以中产阶级为核心，她想找一个“既魅力四射、野性十足，又多金”的伴侣——简·奥斯汀的小说中最令人记忆深刻的就是这个永恒的梦想。

This stylized treatment continues through Nell's debut in society, where, Hallett writes, she stunned the London season with her " red hair, milk-white skin, green eyes, and a waist that looked small enough to snap in two."

这种非写实的处理一直延续到内尔在社会上的首次亮相，哈利特写道，在那里，她以“鲜红的头发、奶白色的皮肤、绿色的眼睛和看起来细到可以折成两半的腰”震惊了伦敦季。
