The Turmoil

CHAPTER XXIII
20/23

"A woman craves society, and gaiety, and meeting attractive people, and traveling.

Well, I can't give her the other things, but I can give her the traveling--real traveling, not just going to Atlantic City or New Orleans, the way she has, two, three times.

A woman has to have something in her life besides a business man.

And that's ALL I was.
