Agnes Repplier, the Philadelphia essayist, takes up the luxury of conversation, the gaiety of life, marriage in fiction, our belief in books, the beggar’s pouch and the pilgrim’s staff, French love-songs and the spinster. One essay draws on a Quaker woman’s diary of the British occupation of Philadelphia in 1777.
