Fables for the Fair
The Woman saw that she was Making Progress. Now was her Time to Stop, but this she Did Not Perceive.
“Shakspere?” said she. “Oh, yes, I have read a Little of His Works, but I do not see Much Sense in them, to tell the Truth.”
“Nay, nay," said the Man, “this is Too Much. Not to Understand lbsen shows that you are a Good Woman; to think Maeterlinck Silly augurs Well for your Intelligence; but not to see Much Sense in Shakspere implies that you are Uneducated.”
And he did not Call Again.
This teaches us that it is Possible to Get Too Much of a Good Thing.
