[Tommy and Grizel by J.M. Barrie]@TWC D-Link bookTommy and Grizel CHAPTER II 23/24
"No use your sitting there tearing yourself to bits.
Out into the street with you! I suspend these sittings until you can tell me you have kissed a girl." He was still saying this sort of thing when the famous "Letters" were published--T.
Sandys, author.
"Letters to a Young Man About to be Married" was the full title, and another almost as applicable would have been "Bits Cut Out of a Story because They Prevented its Marching." If you have any memory you do not need to be told how that splendid study, so ennobling, so penetrating, of woman at her best, took the town.
Tommy woke a famous man, and, except Elspeth, no one was more pleased than big-hearted, hopeless, bleary Pym. "But how the -- -- has it all come about!" he kept roaring. "A woman can be anything that the man who loves her would have her be," says the "Letters"; and "Oh," said woman everywhere, "if all men had the same idea of us as Mr.Sandys!" "To meet Mr.T.Sandys." Leaders of society wrote it on their invitation cards.
