The wives OF men of sentiment often
possess a vein OF strong common sense
and matter Of fact nature which may
at times serve to bring their poetical
husbands down from their flights OF
fancy rather rudely.
Jean Paul represents Siebenkas as
reading one OF his beautiful fancies to
his wife, who listened with eyes cast
down, apparently absorbed in his
words. As he finished and waited for
her appreciation to express itself she
said quickly;
