The House of Mirth Book One Chapter 14

from The Edith Wharton Library · host Edith Wharton

In which Gerty Farish, buoyed by the kindness shared with Lawrence Selden and the curious affection they both hold for Lily Bart, finds herself caught between the warmth of friendship and the pangs of jealousy in the small, modest confines of her life. The narrative softly unfolds in a night of confessions and tender revelations, as Lily seeks sanctuary from her own restless despair, revealing the aching human frailty that shadows her outward beauty.
