Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Twentieth Century Child I Have understood from a proverb to that effect, that "bachelors´ wives and old maids´ children" are objects of much scorn to the experience married person and parent; but no one has ever said a word in condemnation of bachelors´ children. Another proverb which intimates that lookers-on see most of the game may apparently be applied to their case. A large number of children - the majority, I suppose - confide everything about themselves to their parents, and nothing about their parents or home to anybody else. A certain number of others confide everything about their home and their parents to some outside friend, and regard all their guardians as quaint specimens of natural history, rather liable to bite, most comfortable at a distance, but quite interesting topics for conversation with intimate friends. The former and more common kind of home-life one watches with love and envy, but with no more intimate comprehension than may come from memories of ones own childhood.
