It being thus impossible to generalize, the careful writer is compelled
to fall back on individual instances, and it must be set down that Edna
Sartwell, so far from being happy or elated over the fact that two
young men within one week had asked her to share their varying fortunes,
walked hurriedly back to the school, filled with terror and dismay. On
the very threshold of womanhood she had suddenly and unexpectedly been
brought face to face with a state of things which made her wish to
shrink back into the untroubled tranquillity of the life she had
hitherto led. These two disquieting events, following one so closely
on the other, loomed up in undue proportion to their importance, and
threatened to overshadow the future. It seemed an appalling thing
that the fate of two men should be placed at her disposal; that on her
shoulders should be cast the great responsibility of deciding, unaided,
a momentous question with far-reaching consequences. And if the first
two young men with whom she became acquainted acted thus, what was to be
expected from the numerous host she was still likely to meet? A pathway
strewn with broken hearts offered no allurements to the feet of the
young traveller; a life lived in an atmosphere of deep sighs was
intolerable. The girl was frightened at the outlook, which was all
the more bewildering because only partly understood. “It is often as
important to classify your problem as to solve it,” her father had once
said to her; but solution or classification appeared equally difficult
to her.

Barney had taken his rejection badly. He made no attempt to conceal
the fact that his life was blighted; that he would re-enter the world

love or human sympathy, he would walk with grim, if

 strangely enough, to shrink from investigate into a critical question on 
 which the future well - being of a nation largely count; thus no one can 
 positively state that marital advances are held in high appraisal
