About this book
Compromises is a book by Agnes Repplier. The text says that, since the days of Richardson and Fielding, English novelists have devoted themselves with tireless energy to the pleasant task of match-making. The text says Miss Austen must be held to blame for one of the most ill-assorted marriages in fiction, and that it was her firm conviction that clever men are wont for the most part to marry foolish or stupid women. The text asks in what moment of madness Mr. Bennet asked Mrs. Bennet to be his wife.
The text describes a man who, amid the confusion and misery of French and Italian railway stations, plays a conqueror’s part, commanding the services of the porters while his fellow tourists clamour helplessly for aid. The text quotes Froissart as writing that the Germans are a rude, unmannered race, but active and expert where their personal advantages are concerned.
