A great many of the gentlemen go in simple evening dress." Abner shook his head a third time. "I thought you understood my principles on that point. Dress is a badge, an index. I could not openly brand myself as having surrendered to the to the " Medora sighed. "You are making a great many difficulties," she said. "But you will call on Mrs. Whyland?"
"Still, the present arrangement, resulting from the collective wisdom and experience of the race ..." said Medora, crumbling her last bit of cake. "You make me think of Bond and his 'historical perspective." "I meant to. It isn't enough to know at just what point in the road we are; we must know what steps we have taken, what course we have traversed, to reach it." "I never look behind.
This step accomplished, Abner felt himself free to scale down to a minimum the customary attentions of a courtship. Medora protested. "You are no more than a man, and I am no less than a woman. You must give all that a man is expected to give and I must have all that a woman is accustomed to receive." The engagement lasted through the summer, and Medora was married at the farm in October.
