Whereupon the Judges held that a 'man' was not a 'woman' and that although every man must marry, no woman need. "It will make no difference," said the President. "None at all," said Dr. Fusbius.
Fusbius, with deference, "will consider that between an abstract proposition and a practical measure " "There is to the logical mind no stopping place," interrupted Duke Deodonato. "But, sir," cried the President, "imagine the consternation which this " "Let it be gazetted to-night," said Duke Deodonato.
Now, when the Judges were come, and the maiden was brought in and set over against them on the right hand, and the learned Doctor took his stand on the left, Deodonato prayed the Judges that they would perpend carefully and anxiously of the question using all lore, research, wisdom, discretion, and justice whether Dr. Fusbius had proposed marriage unto the maiden or no.
And thus it fell out that when a week had gone by, no man had obeyed Duke Deodonato's decree, and they were, from sheer want of brides, like to fall into contempt of the law and under the high displeasure of the Duke. Upon this the President and Dr. Fusbius sought audience of his Highness, and humbly laid before him the unforeseen obstacle which had occurred. "Woman is ever ambitious," said Dr.
Fusbius with deference, "will consider that between an abstract proposition and a practical measure " "There is to the logical mind no stopping-place," interrupted Duke Deodonato.

"This is very perplexing," said Duke Deodonato, and he knit his brows; for as he gazed upon the beauty of the damsel, it seemed to him a thing unnatural, undesirable, unpalatable, unpleasant, and unendurable, that she should wed Dr. Fusbius.
Whereupon the Judges held that a "man" was not a "woman," and that although every man must marry, no woman need. "It will make no difference," said the President. "None at all," said Dr. Fusbius.
Fusbius; while another part would have it that in all things the spirit and mind of the utterer must be regarded, and that it sorted not with the years, virtues, learning, and position of the said most learned Doctor to suppose that he had spoken such words and sealed the same with a kiss, save under the firm impression, thought, and conviction that he was offering his hand in marriage; which said impression, thought, and conviction were fully and reasonably declared and evident in his actions, manner, bearing, air, and conduct.
"Is it true, damsel?" asked Duke Deodonato. "Hear me, your Highness!" answered she. "I left my dwelling but an instant, for we were in sore straits for " "Bread?" asked Deodonato, a touch of sympathy in his voice. "May it please your Highness, no pins wherewith to fasten our hair. And, as I ran to the merchant's, this aged man " "I am but turned of fifty," interrupted Fusbius.
