Hutchinson, Horace G. Two moods of a man. [†]$1.50. Putnam.
The two moods which war for the ascendancy in young Hood are one which compels allegiance to the gypsy wife whom he had married after the Romany rite, and another which bids him desert the gypsy and marry a high minded Philadelphian. His philosophy which claims the divine right of the Greek “daemon” to guide him is a cloak for his selfishness. Intense enthusiasm and reactionary suffering show him to be absolutely without poise.
“This is an extremely interesting, yet deceptive story, in which the cleverness of the telling often dazzles and obscures the true significance of incidents and motives.”
