A woman who is always talking about her "delicate constitution."

An old maid who doubts, during dessert, "if you could love _madly_," and

then asks, "What is your _beau ideal_ of the tender passion?"

A young man who quotes Latin at a social party, and proposes healths and

toasts; or a German at the Opera who hums all the tunes, overture, and

recitatives, stamps his feet, and takes snuff.
