Interesting little piece of trivia. I'm on vacation and just finished reading The Sun Also Rises 2 days ago and I'm now reading "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin and just encountered this passage: "They became intimate and friendly by imperceptible degrees, and then by leaps." Which reads very similar to the Hemmingway passage. Maybe he stole it ;)
