“
She is an amateur at her business, you say. Well, perhaps she is. But who brought her up to be an amateur? Are you not content to carry on the ancient tradition? As you meditate, and you often do meditate, upon that infant daughter of yours now sleeping in her cot, do you dream of giving her a scientific education in housekeeping, or do you dream of endowing her with the charms that music and foreign languages and physical grace can offer? Do you in your mind’s eye see her cannily choosing beef at the butcher’s, or shining for your pleasure in the drawing-room? 去书内

    You said she was an amateur in business. Maybe she is. But who trained her to be an amateur? Aren't you satisfied with inheriting ancient traditions? When you meditate, you often meditate. Do you dream of giving her a scientific home economics education on your daughter who is now sleeping in a crib, or do you dream of giving her the charm of music, foreign languages, and physical grace? In your mind, do you see her carefully picking beef at the butcher, or is she shining for your happiness in the living room?
