Just
exactly
what
is
the
question
?
"
Here
Amory
had
to
pause
to
consider
exactly
what
the
question
was
.
AMORY
COINS
A
PHRASE
"
When
life
gets
hold
of
a
brainy
man
of
fair
education
,
"
began
Amory
slowly
,
"
that
is
,
when
he
marries
he
becomes
,
nine
times
out
of
ten
,
a
conservative
as
far
as
existing
social
conditions
are
concerned
.
He
may
be
unselfish
,
kind-hearted
,
even
just
in
his
own
way
,
but
his
first
job
is
to
provide
and
to
hold
fast
.
His
wife
shoos
him
on
,
from
ten
thousand
a
year
to
twenty
thousand
a
year
,
on
and
on
,
in
an
enclosed
treadmill
that
has
n't
any
windows
.
He
's
done
!
Life
's
got
him
!
He
's
no
help
!
He
's
a
spiritually
married
man
.
"
Amory
paused
and
decided
that
it
was
n't
such
a
bad
phrase
.
"
Some
men
,
"
he
continued
,
"
escape
the
grip
.
Maybe
their
wives
have
no
social
ambitions
;
maybe
they
've
hit
a
sentence
or
two
in
a
'd
angerous
book
'
that
pleased
them
;
maybe
they
started
on
the
treadmill
as
I
did
and
were
knocked
off
.
Anyway
,
they
're
the
congressmen
you
ca
n't
bribe
,
the
Presidents
who
are
n't
politicians
,
the
writers
,
speakers
,
scientists
,
statesmen
who
are
n't
just
popular
grab-bags
for
a
half-dozen
women
and
children
.
"
"
He
's
the
natural
radical
?
"
"
Yes
,
"
said
Amory
.
"
He
may
vary
from
the
disillusioned
critic
like
old
Thornton
Hancock
,
all
the
way
to
Trotsky
.
Now
this
spiritually
unmarried
man
has
n't
direct
power
,
for
unfortunately
the
spiritually
married
man
,
as
a
by-product
of
his
money
chase
,
has
garnered
in
the
great
newspaper
,
the
popular
magazine
,
the
influential
weekly
--
so
that
Mrs.
Newspaper
,
Mrs.
Magazine
,
Mrs.
Weekly
can
have
a
better
limousine
than
those
oil
people
across
the
street
or
those
cement
people
'
round
the
corner
.
"
"
Why
not
?
