He shut himself up that evening and the following morning with his Greats work.
You see," she tried to explain, "she's very sweet and gentle, and all that, but she's devoted to the proprieties of life, and I seem to represent to her its improprieties. I know it's a trial to her to keep me, and so, in a way, it's a trial to me to stay." "Why do you stay, then?" "For one reason, because I can't help myself. I have to do what the law tells me."
