Excerpt from The Job: An American Novel
He believed that Panama, Pennsylvania, was good enough for anybody.
This last opinion was not shared by his wife, nor by his daughter Una.
Mrs. Golden was one of tue women who aspire just enough to be vaguely discontented; not enough to make them toil at the acquisition of understanding and knowl edge. She had floated into a comfortable semi-belief in a semi-christian Science, and she read novels with a conviction that she would have been a romantic person if she hadn't married Mr. Golden - not but what he's a fine man and very bright and all, but he hasn't got much imagination or any, well, romance!
