He is nothing more than a crazy representative of the sentiments of the chivalry romances. In all that he says and does he is simply repeating the lesson he has learned from his books; and therefore, it is absurd to speak of him in the gushing strain of the sentimental critics when they dilate upon his nobleness, disinterestedness, dauntless courage, and so forth.

For these reasons I move that we adjourn." "What!" cried a gentleman from the West, impatiently rising to his feet, "are we here to dilate upon the advancement of music? What we have to consider first of all is manners, and the moral question is paramount in this discussion."
"Would it not be easier to write?" he suggested. She shook her head. "There is no time to write...and it won't take long." She raised her head and their eyes met. "My husband has left me," she said.
