I’m a blank sheet of paper that no one will write on.

Hussein.

No man understands in the least what I’m good for;

They all want to use me for scattering sand with!

Peer.

I was in a woman’s keeping a silver-clasped book;—

It’s one and the same misprint to be either mad or sane!

Hussein.

Just fancy, what an exhausting life.

To be a pen and never taste the edge of a knife!
