Lots of worldly wisdom and some 100-year-old humour in this fine little book.
After realising that his son "has been investing more heavily in roses than his means warrant", the father gives an honest opinion about the mademoiselle in question:
"(..) but if she's the daughter of old Job Dashkam, on the open Board, I should say, on general principles, that she was a fine girl to let some other fellow marry."
