She is met by Selden, who surmises that Lily has designs on Gryce.

Logging out…

Gryce does indeed return from church on foot, but as part of a group led by Lady Cressida that also includes the Trenors' daughters. Selden, recognizing that their earlier conversation about Americana was due to Lily's interest in snaring Gryce, offers to further his tutelage at length that afternoon.

In this chapter, Wharton further satirizes the lives and attitudes of New York society. Lily misses the omnibus that takes the group to church services in order to increase Gryce's longing for her, but the action may also be interpreted as Wharton's attempt to point out the hypocrisy of a social group that attends church on a regular basis without practicing Christian teachings. Her narrator points out that society may be scandalized by the divorces of Carry, but that it will forgive such indiscretions if the remarriage is into greater wealth.

He departs without her. As it turns out, Lily meant to go to church. And it's likely that all would have gone as planned if Selden had not so inconveniently shown up. Trenor assured Lily that she didn't call Selden; he came on his own. She wonders if his thing with Bertha Dorset is still going on, and he actually came to see her. Even if Selden did come to see Bertha, Lily will make sure she can steal the show.

At dinner the Saturday night before, Lily was given the opportunity to directly compare Selden and Gryce. Lily starts wondering why she is suddenly so interested in Selden when she's known him for eight years and has never wanted him before.

She decides that what she likes his detachment; Selden is removed from the gilded cage of society, which reminds her that there's a world outside it. She starts viewing her own little world through his eyes.

Suddenly, all these rich people look trivial and boring. Dorset is sitting next to Lily, and down the other end of the table Mrs. Dorset is by Selden.

Dorset is jealous of his wife making a spectacle of herself by being all over Selden, so he makes a joke about it to Lily to cover his insecurities. Then, he chews her ear off all night.

He touches on why we need to reclaim humor and laughter in religion, why they have been so downgraded, and what the spiritual masters in different traditions have taught about joy. He ranges through classical and modern Christian writers from Saint Benedict to Karl Barth , quoting their apt remarks on joy. He cites the 14th-century Muslim mystic Hafiz, who said: It is the glorious sound of a soul waking up! Did he ever laugh?

Martin insists he probably did, very frequently. Martin believes they do.
