Edith Wharton Quote
I believe it IS a vice, almost, to read such a book as the ‘Letters,’ said Mrs. Touchett. It’s the woman’s soul, absolutely torn up by the roots — her whole self laid bare; and to a man who evidently didn’t care; who couldn’t have cared. I don’t mean to read another line; it’s too much like listening at a keyhole.
