Question

in the return of a private, hamlin garland writes that the tenderness between edward and emma smith "found utterance in tones, rather than in words" the clearest example of this expression comes when?

Answer 1

The clearest example would be when Edward decides to sleep on the train station bench rather than the hotel.
The behavior that displayed by Edward is considered a passive agressive behavior, so even though he does not necessarily say his true feelings, others who see it clearly understand the utterance.
