CHAPTER XIV
When a visitor leaves he is usually discussed. So after the doctor had taken his leave, we spoke of him for a while.
"He makes a good impression," remarked my sister.
"Yes, he is not a bad fellow," rejoined my brother-in-law. "He has not much common sense, though, too much of a woman worshipper I should say."
"That is good."
"Who says it is bad? Poor fellow, I pity him. He is quite lost in admiration of the fair sex. Fancy, an intelligent young man believing in the possibility of a female Shakespeare."
"Is that such an impossible thing?"
"And what is worse still, he does not hesitate to make a fool of himself by expressing his outrageous opinion before others. I wonder if the man has any idea how ludicrous it sounds."
