The story of a young woman “of great beauty, much intensity of character, and an unfortunate penchant for logic on all occasions, who starts out with the idea that all she needs to round out her life to perfection is one woman friend and one man friend, both, of course absolutely without the flaws to which human flesh is commonly heir.” Her perfection system has its vulnerable points, and is mutilated in part by an estrangement, an unfortunate love affair, and a second marriage.
