This early novel by Tarkington (1903) tells the story of two men vying for the attentions of the same woman, Sylvia. Mr. Sudgeberry, the narrator, is a loquacious pedant. William Fentriss is a happy-go-lucky ne'er-do-well. Comic sparks are struck as the two men seek to undermine each other in Sylvia's eyes.
