Explore "The Night Club" by Herbert Jenkins on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
When the Night Club was formed it was definitely agreed that it should be for men only, like the best stories and the most delightful women; yet at the third sitting Sallie Carruthers became the one and only woman member. The circumstance was so unexpected that it can be understood only as a result of a thorough description of Sallie, and the difficulty is to know where to begin -- the end is always the same, a precipitate falling-in-love with her.
It is all very tedious for Sallie, who does not seem to like being fallen-in-love-with. To use her own expression, "It spoils it. " What it is that it spoils she does not seem able to explain, and if pressed she replies despairingly, "Oh! everything."
