- And if the Baron of Grogzwig, a little hurt and irritated at this, took heart, and ventured to suggest that his wife was at least
- no worse off than the wives of other barons, the Baroness Von Swillenhausen begged all persons to take notice, that nobody but she,
- sympathized with her dear daughter's sufferings; upon which, her relations and friends remarked,
- that to be sure she did cry a great deal more than her son-in-law, and that if there were a hard-hearted brute alive,
- it was that Baron of Grogzwig.
