  The Parting of The Ways: Mrs. Longworth crossed the hotel piazza, descended the steps, and walked out of sight down the shore road with all the grace of motion that lent distinction to her slightest movement.

  "A Dill Pickle" is a 1917 short story by Katherine Mansfield. It was first published in the New Age on 4 October 1917. A revised version later appeared in Bliss and Other Stories. The characters and their relationship possibly were inspired by Mansfield's older sister Vera Margaret Beauchamp and her husband James Mackintosh Bell.
  A man and a woman who used to be romantically involved meet by chance in a tea-house not having seen each other for about six years. We learn that the woman ended their earlier relationship in a letter she wrote to him, but we come to doubt that she expected the letter to do so. They sit together and reminisce about past events – for example, the day they spent at Kew Gardens together. Both initially seem to regret not being friends any longer.

  'Babbitt respected bigness in anything: in mountains, jewels, muscles, wealth or words.'
  
  First published in 1922, Babbitt is a scathing satirical novel that wittily condemns the vacuous and superficial lives of the middle class in early twentieth-century America.
  
  George F. Babbitt, a successful real estate agent in the fictional city of Zenith in the Midwest, is openly conservative: he embraces proper social etiquette, business success and traditional values. But secretly, a disillusion with the American Dream begins to take root. As he begins to question the emptiness of his life, Babbitt goes to extreme lengths to uncover a novel sense of personal freedom. But when the pressures of societal expectation and fear of nonconformity threaten to destroy the life he once loved, Babbitt is forced to reconsider his actions. A masterclass in satire and literary realism, Babbitt remains an American classic for the ages.
  Sinclair Lewis (1885 – 1951) was an American novelist, short story writer and dramatist. In 1930, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. His work often critiqued capitalism and the materialist nature of inter-war America, and is still widely read to this day.
