In the following essay, Wardley explores the role of flirtation in Daisy Miller.
There is only one way to improve ourselves, and that is by some of us setting an example which the others may pick up and imitate till the new fashion spreads from east to west.

But no living person is sunk so low as not to be imitated by somebody.
