About this book

Young People's Pride is a book by Stephen Vincent Benét, with the title page words "a novel". A dedication to Rosemary says "If I were sly, I'd steal for you that cobbled hill, Montmartre, Josephine's embroidered shoes." Oliver and Ted are described as having been through Yale, some of the war and much of the peace together.

Ted is said to quote maliciously that everybody says there is money in advertising. The text says Mr. Severance does not seem to be enjoying himself as he should, but this may be due to a sort of minstrel give-and-take of dialogue that keeps going on between what he says for publication and what he thinks. A speaker says Sargent has always been enamored of puttering around a garden somewhere in an alias and old trousers, with the speaker to make him lemonade when he gets overheated.
