The service was enlivened by her continual supervision and correction of the maid. It was impossible not to fancy the baby was a doll, and the church some European playroom. All these women were legitimately married.

"Permit me to say, sir, that you have not considered the ignoble aspect of the fleeced," said Vernon. "I appeal to the ladies: would they not, if they beheld an ostrich walking down a Queen's Drawing Room, clean-plucked, despise him though they were wearing his plumes?" "An extreme supposition, indeed," said Dr. Middleton, frowning over it; "scarcely legitimately to be suggested."

"My wife! my wife!" said Osborne, looking on her with a rapturous gaze of love and admiration and carrying her allusion to the consent of their families up to the period when he might legitimately give her that title "My wife," he exclaimed, "my young, my beautiful, my pure and unspotted wife. Heavens! and is is the day surely to come when I am to call you so!"

That is the American shibboleth.

People wonder why the novel is the most popular form of literature; people wonder why it is read more than books of science or books of metaphysics. The reason is very simple; it is merely that the novel is more true than they are. Life may sometimes legitimately appear as a book of science.
