In 1913, when Anthony Patch was twenty-five, two years were already gone since irony¹, the Holy Ghost of this later day, had, theoretically at least, descended² upon him. Irony was the final polish of the shoe, the ultimate dab³ of the clothes-brush, a sort of intellectual "There!"--yet at the brink⁴ of this story he has as yet gone no further than the conscious stage. As you first see him he wonders frequently whether he is not without honor and slightly mad, a shameful⁵ and obscene thinness glistening⁶ on the surface of the world like oil on a clean pond, these occasions being varied⁷, of course, with those in which he thinks himself rather an exceptional young man, thoroughly⁸ sophisticated, well adjusted to his environment, and somewhat more significant than any one else he knows.

This was his healthy state and it made him cheerful, pleasant, and very attractive to intelligent men and to all women. In this state he considered that he would one day accomplish some quiet subtle thing that the elect would deem worthy⁹ and, passing on, would join the dimmer stars in a nebulous, indeterminate heaven half-way between death and immortality¹⁰. Until the time came for this effort he would be Anthony Patch--not a portrait of a man but a distinct and dynamic personality, opinionated, contemptuous, functioning from within outward--a man who was aware that there could be no honor and yet had honor, who knew the sophistry¹¹
