Excerpt from The Edge: A Novel "But, Mr. JaffFray! What did the editor mean - the vital Impulse? And why is it so dreadful you haven't any?" Her dimples, one above each corner of her mouth, quite vanished in the shadow of the frown that drooped from her forehead. "That's just what I asked him. He talked half an hour. The upshot was that I cant write stories." His tone was quite gay, but his manner was not the kind to convince any one, even himself. She threw open the window, and they sat together by it, looking out over the buff walls, grey parapets and belvederes of Madison Square Garden. The parched breezes of a July evening wafted up to them a strange - sound a distant, multitudinous roar, like the surf foaming on a long, low, pebbly beach. An electric legend, high up on the tower that dominates the Garden, proclaimed the humble thing it was roller-skating. But to the ear of Jaffray it had more than the charm of the sea.
