  SALACITY,  n.  A  certain  literary  quality  frequently  observed  in 
  popular  novels,  especially  in  those  written  by  women  and  young  girls, 
  who  give  it  another  name  and  think  that  in  introducing  it  they  are 
  occupying  a  neglected  field  of  letters  and  reaping  an  overlooked 
  harvest.  If  they  have  the  misfortune  to  live  long  enough  they  are 
  tormented  with  a  desire  to  burn  their  sheaves.
