( ) Being a choice of aphorisms from a 'wit and wisdom' style newspaper column which was popular a century ago. The reflections concern themselves largely with love, courtship, and marriage. At the distance of a hundred years, the hit rate for wit is decent, but not great; wisdom makes an occasional appearance. Many readers will be put off by the extremely anachronistic sex roles on offer, and the author's viewpoint is jaundiced, which is also not for everyone. The book will pass muster with lovers of the quaint who enjoy a short visit to the way our forebears looked at domestic life. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

THERE never was a man big and strong enough to get out his clean shirt and collar and fix the water for his bath. IT'S when the game becomes a trifle stale that a man begins to feel conscientious qualms about flirting with a woman. THE woman who pins her faith to a man won't find a safety-pin strong enough to stand the strain. IN love, the best way to erase one face from the tablet of memory is to draw another across it. A MAN'S ideal woman is the one he couldn't get. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
