Excerpt
“Yes, Eve, I am a failure because—I read this sentiment somewhere—every woman who marries unsatisfactorily is a failure. She may make a big niche for herself in drama, literature, music; may be a social success; may look well and dress well; but if the legally-attached man doesn’t arouse the financial envy of other women, she is a failure! Roger, who won’t earn money and won’t shave, couldn’t arouse the envy of other women! Why, he is so indolent and unstrenuous that he has even grown a beard and whiskers! ”
