Explore "A Poor Rule" by O. Henry on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
I have always maintained, and asserted time to time, that woman is no mystery; that man can foretell, construe, subdue, comprehend, and interpret her. That she is a mystery has been foisted by herself upon credulous mankind. Whether I am right or wrong we shall see. As "Harper's Drawer" used to say in bygone years: "The following good story is told of Miss -- -- -, Mr. -- -- -, Mr. -- -- -, and Mr. -- -- ."
We shall have to omit "Bishop X" and "the Rev. -- -- -," for they do not belong.
