Synopsis of Preceding Chapters Amy Talbot at 48 is too tired to Ket any pleasure out of life. Everything Is a narrow dull round of hard work, and has been for so many years that she has literally ceased even to think. She does not know how much out of things she is until her son Luther comes back from the city, bringing with him his wife Claire, whom Amy has not met. Jane, studying to be a physician, arrives for her vacation, and a young doctor from the city with whom Jane is in love. The new ideas of these young shock the mother, who considers everything new mast be wicked. So does her husband, Jordan Talbot. Their new ideas Infect Amy, the youngest daughter. Claire is carrying on a clandestine correspondence with a man in this city, and eventually leaves Luther and goes to town again, taking Amy along. Amy suddenly decides to study music. Luther and Jane return the mother becomes so worried over her children she suddenly announces that she too is going to the city! Tn the city, she learns Claire ha3 separated from Luther.

"He took Jane out to dinner, so that seems to be proper thing," Dick said. "Come on out with me, Amy." Amy threw herself back on the couch and pouted. " No thanks. I'm tired. The proper thing is not to stay so long for tea." "The others did." "Well, they shouldn't. Bu; they think they know me so well." "Not as well as I do. Besides I don't like them. I'm jealous of them. Where shall we go for dinner? It you'll tell me the proper things to do, I'll be ahead of those men in no time." Amy surveyed Dick calmly and impersonally.
