Chapter VIII
A SOFT GOOD NIGHT Masters took his stand on that apology and made capital out of it. Miss Mivvins resumed her seat. With all his ignorance of the treatment women expected--out of books--he had acted in strict consonance with the sex's idea of the fitness of things. To own up to the rightness of the woman you are talking with, and your own wrong, is as oil to machinery. It is an almost infallible way of worming yourself into the woman's good graces; rarely fails.
