Answer:
a. She speaks without feeling.
Explanation:
William Dean Howell's short story "Editha" revolves around the character of Editha who forces her fiancé George Gearson, to volunteer in the army. This is her way of trying to make him, or any man, prove their loyalty and courage to get her hand in marriage.
George has no inclination to be a war soldier, but rather he had once wanted to be a minister. And with the news of the upcoming war, George and Editha's opinions of war differs, with Editha supporting it. And so, despite George's reservations about the war, Editha told him she's his, <em>"for time and eternity"</em>. But with that being said, it was more like her want to satisfy her craving for a feminine response, with the narrator revealing<em> "she liked the words; they satisfied her famine for phrases."
</em>
This shows Editha did not really speak after considering all possibilities. She was merely acting without any careful thought or feeling.
Thus, the correct answer is option a.
