Beyond the small and slippery pyramid which composed Mrs. Archers world lay thealmost unmapped quarter inhabited by artists, musicians and people who wrote. his
scattered !ra"ment o! humanity had ne#er shown any desire to be amal"amated with the
social structure. In spite o! odd ways there were said to be, !or the most part, quite
respectable$ but they pre!erred to %eep themsel#es to themsel#es. Medora Manson, in herprosperous days, had inau"urated a literary salon$ but it had soon died out ownin" to

&thers ha#e made the same attempt, and there was a household o! Blen%ers ' an intenseand #oluble mother, and three blowsy dau"hters who imitated her ' where one met (dwin
Booth and )atti and *illiam *inter, and the new +ha%espearian actor eor"e i"nold,
and some o! the ma"aine editors and musical and literary critics. Mrs. Archer and her "roup !elt a certain timidity concernin" these persons. hey

perhaps the un%nown persons who succeeded them had "entlemanly sentiments, but theirori"in, there appearance, their hair, their intimacy with the sta"e and the &pera, made any
old 2ew 3or% criteria inapplicable to them.
