The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Early Short Fiction of Edith Wharton by Edith Wharton: and bills--and picking up the evening paper. As he unfolded it a
headline caught his eye.
"ROSE MELROSE WANTS TO

"THINKS SHE HAS FOUND HER
POET."
He read on with a thumping heart--found the name of a young
author he had barely heard of, saw the title of a play, a "poetic
drama," dance before his eyes, and dropped the paper, sick,
disgusted. It was true, then--she WAS "game"--it was not the
manner but the matter she mistrusted!
