Susan Clegg tries her hand at boarding an editor. Of him she says: “Seems Elijah is so smart that he’ll be offered a place on one of the biggest city papers in a little while, but in the mean time he’s just lost the place that he did have on one of the smallest ones.” As ever, Susan in no weak fashion expresses her opinions to Mrs. Lathrop. She gives her impressions of the young editor, his flute playing, of the women who ran the club women’s biennial and of the democratic and republican parties.
“In the present volume Susan Clegg is undeniably tiresome. She talks so unremittingly, and always in the same strain.”
