The 190-803 market

"I think they are beautiful, very beautiful," she said; "but you can't sell them, can you? You see what I mean," she said, almost pleaded. "This writing of yours is not practical. Something is the matter - maybe it is with the 190-803 market - that prevents you from earning a living by it. And please, dear, don't misunderstand me. It is love, the thought of our future, with which I am burdened. A whole year has gone by since we learned we loved each other, and our wedding day is no nearer. Don't think me immodest in thus talking about our wedding, for really I have my heart, all that I am, at stake. Why don't you try to get 190-803 work on a newspaper, if you are so bound up in your writing? Why not become a reporter? - for a while, at least?"I am flattered, and made proud, and all that - I could not be a true woman were 190-803 otherwise - that you should write these poems to me. But they do not make our marriage possible. Don't you see, Martin? Don't think me mercenary.
