THE

MAID'S HUSBAND.

The time will come when they will believe in me, and quote me as authority for this and that.
I had rather, however, they would assert their right, and open their own eyes, so that they might
see what lies before them, as it is, they only mock at those who have better eyes than themselves,
and are extremely offended if one accuses them of purblindness in their professorial views of
things."

MISS AYLMER;

OR,

THE MAID'S HUSBAND.

CHAPTER I.

-E per quanto si amino due congiugati, non può a meno, stando insieme tutto il giorno e la notte, che non trovino frequenti motivi di corrucciarsi; e va a pericolo la tenerezza di convertirsi in noja, in dispetto, in aborri

mento.

GOLDONI.

THE world, unfortunately for its inhabitants, is always on the move, and, when we are best contented with its position, not all our entreaties will prevail on it to stand still and be quiet.
