a drive through a part of Derbyshire once with a couple ofladies. It was a beautiful bit of country,Mark Fayne Tröjor, and they enjoyedthemselves immensely. They talked dressmaking the whole time.
"Pretty view, that," I would say, waving my umbrella round. "Look atthose blue distant hills! That little white speck, nestling in thewoods,Todd Bertuzzi Tröjor, is Chatsworth,Laurent Brossoit Tröjor, and over there--""Yes, very pretty indeed," one would reply. "Well, why not get a yardof sarsenet?""What, and leave the skirt exactly as it is?""Certainly. What place d'ye call this?"Then I would draw their attention to the fresh beauties that keptsweeping into view, and they would glance round and say "charming,""sweetly pretty," and immediately go off into raptures over eachother's pocket-handkerchiefs, and mourn with one another over thedecadence of cambric frilling.
I believe if two women were cast together upon a desert island, theywould spend each day arguing the respective merits of sea-shells andbirds' eggs considered as trimmings,Buty Nike KD 8, and would have a new fashion infig-leaves every month.
Very young men think a good deal about clothes, but they don't talkabout them to each other. They would not find much encouragement. Afop is not a favorite with his own sex. Indeed, he gets a good dealmore abuse from them than is necessary. His is a harmless failing andit soon wears out. Besides, a man who has no foppery at twenty willbe a slatternly,Victor Hedman Tröjor, dirty-collar, unbrushed-coat man at forty. A littlefoppishness in a young man is good; it is human. I like to see ayoung cock ruffle his feathers, stretch his neck, and crow as if thewhole world belonged to him. I don't like a modest,Thomas Greiss Tröjor, retiring man.
Nobody does--not really,Kevin Shattenkirk Tröjor, however much they may prate about modestworth and other things they do not understand.
A meek deportment is a great mistake in the world. Uriah Heap'sfather was a very poor judge of human nature, or he would not havetold his son, as he did,Jussi Jokinen Tröjor, that people liked humbleness. There isnothing annoys them more,Ralph Lauren Kortärmade skjortor, as a rule. Rows are half the fun of life,and you can't have rows with humble, meek-answering individuals. Theyturn away our wrath, and that is just what we do not want. We want tolet it out. We have worked ourselves up into a state of exhilaratingfury,Shawn Matthias Tröjor, and then just as we are anticipating the enjoyment of a vigorousset-to, they spoil all our plans with their exasperating humility.
Xantippe's life must have been one long misery, tied to that calmlyirritating man, Socrates. Fancy a married woman doomed to live onfrom day to day without one single quarrel with her husband! A manought to humor his wife in these things.
Heaven knows their lives are dull enough,Matt Moulson Tröjor, poor girls. They have noneof the enjoyments we have. They go to no political meetings; they maynot even belong to the local amateur parliament; they are excludedfrom smoking-carriages on the Metropolitan Railway, and they never seea comic paper--or if they do, they do not know it is comic: nobodytells them.
