Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Through One Administration
The professor himself seemed to know but little of her. He was a quiet and intensely studious person, taking small interest in the ordinary world and appear ing always slightly surprised when his wife spoke to him'; still, his manner toward her was as gentle and painstaking as if she had been the rarest possible beetle, and the only one of her species to be found in any known collection, though perhaps the interest she awakened in him was not so great as it might have been under such exceptionally favorable circumstances. She was not a brilliant or far-seeing woman, and her Opinions of entomology and, indeed, of science in general, were vague, and obscured by objections to small boxes, glass eases, long pins, and chloroform, and specimens of all orders.
