What's the most inveterate mark of men in general? Why the capacity to spend endless time with dull women  to spend it I won't say without being bored, but without minding that they are, without being driven off at a tangent by it; which comes to the same thing. I'm your dull woman, a part of the daily bread for which you pray at church. That covers your tracks more than anything." WHAT'S THE MOST INVETERATE MARK OF MEN IN GENERAL WHY THE CAPACITY TO SPEND ENDLESS TIME WITH DULL WOMEN TO SPEND IT I WON'T SAY WITHOUT BEING BORED BUT WITHOUT MINDING THAT THEY ARE WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN OFF AT A TANGENT BY IT WHICH COMES TO THE SAME THING I'M YOUR DULL WOMAN A PART OF THE DAILY BREAD FOR WHICH YOU PREY AT CHURCH THAT COVERS YOUR TRACKS MORE THAN ANYTHING
come such a daily habit--or almost--as to be at last indispensable." That for instance was a remark she had frequently enough had occasion to make, though she had given it at different times different developments. What we are especially concerned with is the turn it happened to take from her one afternoon when he had come to see her in honour of her birthday. This anniversary had fallen on a Sunday, at a season of thick fog and general outward gloom; but he had brought her his customary offering, having known her now long enough to have established a hundred small traditions. It was one of his proofs to himself, the present he made her on her birthday, that he hadn't sunk into real selfishness. It was mostly nothing more than a small trinket, but it was always fine of its kind, and he was regularly careful to pay for it more than he thought he could afford. "Our habit saves you, at least, don't you see? because it makes you, after all, for the vulgar, indistinguishable from other men. N WHOSE FRIENDSHIP HAS BECOME SUCH A DAILY HABIT OR ALMOST AS TO BE AT LAST INDISPENSABLE THAT FOR INSTANCE WAS A REMARK SHE HAD FREQUENTLY ENOUGH HAD OCCASION TO MAKE THOUGH SHE HAD GIVEN IT AT DIFFERENT TIMES DIFFERENT DEVELOPMENTS WHAT WE ARE ESPECIALLY CONCERNED WITH IS THE TURN IT HAPPENED TO TAKE FROM HER ONE AFTERNOON WHEN HE HAD COME TO SEE HER IN HONOUR OF HER BIRTHDAY THIS ANNIVERSARY HAD FALLEN ON A SUNDAY AT A SEASON OF THICK FOG AND GENERAL OUTWARD GLOOM BUT HE HAD BROUGHT HER HIS CUSTOMARY OFFERING HAVING KNOWN HER NOW LONG ENOUGH TO HAVE ESTABLISHED A HUNDRED SMALL TRADITIONS IT WAS ONE OF HIS PROOFS TO HIMSELF THE PRESENT HE MADE HER ON HER BIRTHDAY THAT HE HADN'T SUNK INTO REAL SELFISHNESS IT WAS MOSTLY NOTHING MORE THAN A SMALL TRINKET BUT IT WAS ALWAYS FINE OF ITS KIND AND HE WAS REGULARLY CAREFUL TO PAY FOR IT MORE THAN HE THOUGHT HE COULD AFFORD OUR HABIT SAVES YOU AT LEAST DON'T YOU SEE BECAUSE IT MAKES YOU AFTER ALL FOR THE VULGAR INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM OTHER MEN
