The Red Planet

CHAPTER XVI
27/30

"If I didn't love you, I could rend you to pieces." "It is because I do understand, my dear," said I, enjoying the flashing beauty of her return to Artemisian attitudes, "that I particularly characterised the dear lady as a disappointment." "I think," she said, in dejected generalisation, "the working out of the whole scheme of the universe is a disappointment." "The High Originators of the scheme seem to bear it pretty philosophically," I rejoined; "so why shouldn't we ?" "They're gods and we're human," said Betty.
"Precisely," said I."And oughtn't it to be our ideal to approximate to the divine attitude ?" Again Betty declared that I was odious.

From her point of view--No.
That is an abuse of language.

There are mental states in which a woman has no point of view at all.

She wanders over an ill-defined circular area of vision.

That is why, in such conditions, you can never pin a woman down with a shaft of logic and compel her surrender, as you can compel that of a mere man.
