Question

itll show you how ive gotten to feel about—things. well, she was less than an hour old and tom was god knows where. i woke up out of the ether with an utterly abandoned feeling, and asked the nurse right away if it was a boy or a girl. she told me it was a girl, and so i turned my head away and wept. all right, i said, im glad its a girl. and i hope shell be a fool—thats the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.
\you see i think everythings terrible anyhow,\ she went on in a convinced way. \everybody thinks so—the most advanced people. and i know. ive been everywhere and seen everything and done everything.\ her eyes flashed around her in a defiant way, rather like toms, and she laughed with thrilling scorn. \sophisticated!—god, im sophisticated!\
the instant her voice broke off, ceasing to compel my attention, my belief, i felt the basic insincerity of what she had said. it made me uneasy, as though the whole evening had been a trick of some sort to exact a contributory emotion from me. i waited, and sure enough, in a moment she looked at me with an absolute smirk on her lovely face, as if she had asserted her membership in a rather distinguished secret society to which she and tom belonged.
