Edith Wharton Quotes

A Tremor Of Apprehension Encircled The Room. None Of The Ladies Required Any Preparation To Pronounce On A Question Of Morals; But When They Were Called Ethics It Was Different. The Club, When Fresh From The "Encyclopedia Brittanica," The "Reader's Handbook" Or Smith's "Classical Dictionary," Could Deal Confidently With Any Subject; But When Taken Unawares It Had Been Known To Define Agnosticism As A Heresy Of The Early Church And Professor Froude As A Distinguished Histologist; And Such Minor Members As Mrs. Leveret Still Secretly Regarded Ethics As Something Vaguely Pagan.
