Men
of
sense--I
speak
not
of
boys
of
eighteen
to
five
and
twenty,
during
their
age
of
detestability--men
who
are
worth
the
trouble
of
falling
in
love
with,
and
the
fuss
and
inconvenience,
of
being
married
to,
and
to
whom
one
might,
after
some
inward
conflicts,
and
a
course
perhaps
of
fasting
and
self-humiliation,
submit
to
fulfil
those
ill-contrived
vows
of
obedience
which
are
exacted
at
the
altar,
such
men
want,
for
their
wives,
companions,
not
dolls;
and
women
who
would
suit
such
men
are
just
as
capable
of
loving
fervently,
deeply,
as
the
Ringlettina,
full
of
song
and
sentiment,
who
cannot
walk,
cannot
rise
in
the
morning,
cannot
tie
her
bonnet-strings,
faints
if
she
has
to
lace
her
boots,
never
in
her
life
brushed
out
her
beautiful
hair,
would
not
for
the
world
prick
her
delicate
finger
with
plain
sewing;
but
who
can
work
harder
than
a
factory
girl
upon
a
lamb's-wool
shepherdess,
dance
like
a
dervise
at
balls,
ride
like
a
fox-hunter,
and,
whilst
every
breath
of
air
gives
her
cold
in
her
father's
house,
and
she
cannot
think
how
people
can
endure
this
climate,
she
can
go
out
to
parties
in
February
and
March,
with
an
inch
of
sleeve
and
half-a-quarter
of
boddice.
