She has allowed one office after another gradually to slip from her hand, until she retains, with loose grasp, only the so-called housekeeping....

“My confessions are shameless. I confess, but do not repent. The fact is, my confessions are prompted, not by ethical motives, but intellectual. The confessions are to me the interesting records of a self-investigator.”
