CHAPTER II
5/28

For their chastity, then, they are interesting; whereas the manufactured virtue of the upper middle class is like the hothouse strawberry--forced in May--a tempting fruit to lay upon a dish, but tasteless, as is wool, between the teeth.
It is this virtue--this real quality, breeding self-respect--that you will find in the mind of Sally Bishop.

Here is no strategy of movement, no well-considered campaign.
