It unfits one to face life and cope with one's friends. But Max would make me. Dear old Max! He's such a faddist. Men are the real faddists. I'll tell you about a marvellous new Arab remedy presently. I heard about it in Paris.
Where is the outlet for intense feelings? What use can they make of education or of gifts? They just can't, that's all.
