I read Daisy Miller and Portrait of a Lady, kind've the same book if you ask me. The ending of Portrait is unsatisfying and meant to be. Does she go back to Osmond? But like Blade Runner, there are two edits:
One ends with Henrietta telling Caspar (in a Graduate Hollywood sort of ending)
“Look here, Mr. Goodwood,” she said; “just you wait!”
On which he looked up at her.

The other continues:
On which he looked up at her-but only to guess, from
her face, with a revulsion, that she simply meant he was
young. She stood shining at him with that cheap comfort,
and it added, on the spot, thirty years to his life. She
walked him away with her, however, as if she had given
him now the key to patience.

Even James can't figure out what he wants.
