Excerpt from Outland
He was going on that afternoon to explain to me how, in a marriage free from the dis turbances of passion incidental to tempera mental matings, I should be at ease to give myself wholly to the business of book-making; for, with all his understand ing, Herman was fully possessed of that Academic notion that literature can be produced by taking pains instead of having them. He was very patient with me through it all, crediting my indifference to overwork and to nerves, as a man does with a woman when he is at a loss to know what 13 the matter with her; when the truth was, if I was tired of anything, it was of being the very things Herman most admired in me, and growing every moment more exasper ated, until by the time he had got to the point of wanting to know what more there was that he could say, I had reached the pitch of replying that there could be nothing more unless he wished to say the usual thing.
