As
‘
this
sort
of
thing
’
is
rather
a
vague
expression
,
would
you
kindly
explain
?
"
returned
Amy
,
knowing
perfectly
well
what
he
meant
,
but
wickedly
leaving
him
to
describe
what
is
indescribable
.
"
Well
—
the
general
air
,
the
style
,
the
self
-
possession
,
the
—
the
—
illusion
—
you
know
"
,
laughed
Laurie
,
breaking
down
and
helping
himself
out
of
his
quandary
with
the
new
word
.
Amy
was
gratified
,
but
of
course
didn
’
t
show
it
,
and
demurely
answered
,
"
Foreign
life
polishes
one
in
spite
of
one
’
s
self
.
I
study
as
well
as
play
,
and
as
for
this
"
—
with
a
little
gesture
toward
her
dress
—
"
why
,
tulle
is
cheap
,
posies
to
be
had
for
nothing
,
and
I
am
used
to
making
the
most
of
my
poor
little
things
"
Amy
rather
regretted
that
last
sentence
,
fearing
it
wasn
’
t
in
good
taste
,
but
Laurie
liked
her
better
for
it
,
and
found
himself
both
admiring
and
respecting
the
brave
patience
that
made
the
most
of
opportunity
,
and
the
cheerful
spirit
that
covered
poverty
with
flowers
.
Amy
did
not
know
why
he
looked
at
her
so
kindly
,
nor
why
he
filled
up
her
book
with
his
own
name
,
and
devoted
himself
to
her
for
the
rest
of
the
evening
in
the
most
delightful
manner
;
but
the
impulse
that
wrought
this
agreeable
change
was
the
result
of
one
of
the
new
impressions
which
both
of
them
were
unconsciously
giving
and
receiving
.
In
France
the
young
girls
have
a
dull
time
of
it
till
they
are
married
,
when
‘
Vive
la
liberte
!
’
becomes
their
motto
.
In
America
,
as
everyone
knows
,
girls
early
sign
the
declaration
of
independence
,
and
enjoy
their
freedom
with
republican
zest
,
but
the
young
matrons
usually
abdicate
with
the
first
heir
to
the
throne
and
go
into
a
seclusion
almost
as
close
as
a
French
nunnery
,
though
by
no
means
as
quiet
.
Whether
they
like
it
or
not
,
they
are
virtually
put
upon
the
shelf
as
soon
as
the
wedding
excitement
is
over
,
and
most
of
them
might
exclaim
,
as
did
a
very
pretty
woman
the
other
day
,
"
I
’
m
as
handsome
as
ever
,
but
no
one
takes
any
notice
of
me
because
I
’
m
married
.
"
Not
being
a
belle
or
even
a
fashionable
lady
,
Meg
did
not
experience
this
affliction
till
her
babies
were
a
year
old
,
for
in
her
little
world
primitive
customs
prevailed
,
and
she
found
herself
more
admired
and
beloved
than
ever
.
As
she
was
a
womanly
little
woman
,
the
maternal
instinct
was
very
strong
,
and
she
was
entirely
absorbed
in
her
children
,
to
the
utter
exclusion
of
everything
and
everybody
else
.
Day
and
night
she
brooded
over
them
with
tireless
devotion
and
anxiety
,
leaving
John
to
the
tender
mercies
of
the
help
,
for
an
Irish
lady
now
presided
over
the
kitchen
department
.
Being
a
domestic
man
,
John
decidedly
missed
the
wifely
attentions
he
had
been
accustomed
to
receive
,
but
as
he
adored
his
babies
,
he
cheerfully
relinquished
his
comfort
for
a
time
,
supposing
with
masculine
ignorance
that
peace
would
soon
be
restored
.
But
three
months
passed
,
and
there
was
no
return
of
repose
.
Meg
looked
worn
and
nervous
,
the
babies
absorbed
every
minute
of
her
time
,
the
house
was
neglected
,
and
Kitty
,
the
cook
,
who
took
life
‘
aisy
’
,
kept
him
on
short
commons
.
When
he
went
out
in
the
morning
he
was
bewildered
by
small
commissions
for
the
captive
mamma
,
if
he
came
gaily
in
at
night
,
eager
to
embrace
his
family
,
he
was
quenched
by
a
"
Hush
!
They
are
just
asleep
after
worrying
all
day
.
"
If
he
proposed
a
little
amusement
at
home
,
"
No
,
it
would
disturb
the
babies
.
"
If
he
hinted
at
a
lecture
or
a
concert
,
he
was
answered
with
a
reproachful
look
,
and
a
decided
—
"
Leave
my
children
for
pleasure
,
never
!
"
His
sleep
was
broken
by
infant
wails
and
visions
of
a
phantom
figure
pacing
noiselessly
to
and
fro
in
the
watches
of
the
night
.
His
meals
were
interrupted
by
the
frequent
flight
of
the
presiding
genius
,
who
deserted
him
,
half
-
helped
,
if
a
muffled
chirp
sounded
from
the
nest
above
.
And
when
he
read
his
paper
of
an
evening
,
Demi
’
s
colic
got
into
the
shipping
list
and
Daisy
’
s
fall
affected
the
price
of
stocks
,
for
Mrs
.
Brooke
was
only
interested
in
domestic
news
.
The
poor
man
was
very
uncomfortable
,
for
the
children
had
bereft
him
of
his
wife
,
home
was
merely
a
nursery
and
the
perpetual
‘
hushing
’
made
him
feel
like
a
brutal
intruder
whenever
he
entered
the
sacred
precincts
of
Babyland
.
He
bore
it
very
patiently
for
six
months
,
and
when
no
signs
of
amendment
appeared
,
he
did
what
other
paternal
exiles
do
—
tried
to
get
a
little
comfort
elsewhere
.
