The Last of the Foresters

CHAPTER XL
6/7

It interferes with a man's education, which commences when he has recovered from the disadvantages of college.

Lastly, my dear fellow, never fall in love with any woman--if you do, you will inevitably repent it.

This world would get on quietly without them--as long as it lasted--and I need'nt tell you that the Trojan War, and other interesting events, never would have happened, but for bright eyes, and sighs, and that sort of thing.

If you are obliged to marry, because you have an establishment, write the names of your lady acquaintances on scraps of paper, put them in your hat, and draw one forth at random.
