“She felt that those who prepare for all the emergencies of life beforehand may equip themselves at the expense of joy.”

Reading a book from the 1900s written by a man where the women are intellectual? Unheard of.

Interesting book. The rich (Wilcox), the arty (Schlegels), the poor (Bash). In the background is the dead Mrs. Wilcox who wanted Schlegel to have the house because she was a kindred spirit who could feel its worth--unlike her own crass children and her businessman husband. Very curious as to how it will play out
