While this conversation had been going on, the young farmer's wife stood at some distance, consumed with jealousy and anger.

Pythagoras is said to have recommended the use of special melodies as antidotal to special passions, and indeed, it is related of him that on a certain occasion he, by a solemn air, brought back to reason a youth who, maddened by love and jealousy, was about setting fire to the house of his mistress." Similar marvellous powers were ascribed to music by the other nations.

Are you married?" "One can easily see that at any rate you are not." "Explain." "Your voice lacks the proper and requisite anxiety.

If you awaked him from his reverie and made him attend to the subject of conversation, he immediately began a harangue, and never stopped till he told you all he knew about it, with the utmost philosophical ingenuity. Though Smith had some little jealousy in his temper, he had the most unbounded benevolence. Dr. Adam Ferguson was a very different kind of man.
