Excerpt from Coelebs the Younger in Search of a Wife: Or the Drawingroom Troubles of Moody Robinson EsquireDrawing-room troubles also assert their importance, be cause we do not expect to find trouble in the abode of peace. It is vexatious to a man retiring from the toils of life to find himself surrounded by the mosquitoes of polite exist ence biting him in his tenderest affections.It is in the drawing-room, too, that taste is cultivated, and refined education displayed. Think of the drawing room troubles of those rough diamonds who have risen in society by their own merits - catching galling aitches, forming secret plans to get rid Of their hands, and struggling not to eat with their knives. These men would have given their fame not to have gone through the troubles hitherto despised by the poet as a subject for illustration.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
