There is an unknown quantity, an insoluble point, in them, which tantalizes the reader. What we especially feel in "Fanshawe" is the author's lack of social experience. His heroine at times behaves in a truly feminine manner, and at others her performances make us shiver.
She was to egg me on to divorce you, so that she could get a clutch on your feelings and marry you and your money! Your money that puts it in a nutshell!

Who provokes and tantalizes and lures on a man, and then stops him short at the very last moment. The musical-comedy type.
You shut your eyes and wait for the shedding of blood; but the torturer has all the malignant subtlety of an Apache Indian, and he tantalizes you.

Go away, naughty Moumou! Did Mr. Blank frighten him then the darling?" Fun!
