Wife:—“I don’t know what is the matter with our Clara; she does not wish to go to the balls; she is indifferent to dress; the theatre no longer gives her pleasure; and now she even refuses to go to a watering-place for the summer. The girl must love unhappily.”
Husband:—“Good gracious! how economical! Sarah, could not you love me unhappily for once?”

Admirer:—“It gives me the most exquisite pleasure to hear you say that you discover daily how much I am like your sainted husband. Might I ask in what I resemble him?”
Young widow:—“You have all his bad habits.”

Wife:—“That does not count, when the object is to please you!”
