Présentation de l'éditeur
But his most difficult science was that of which we are now about to speak. He had one beautiful daughter whom he had brought up without the help of a mother, and that, surely, is a feat of which any man might be proud! His wife had died on the very day on which she had given birth to the child, and the widower had forthwith steadily set before himself the problem of educating the girl without the slightest female intervention. The way in which he managed by artificial contrivances to find a substitute for mothers milk was a miracle of itself; but even that was ac nothing compared with the masterly system of education which he himself invented and applied, in order to make his daughter grow up a discreet and modest maiden,, despite the grievous want of maternal supervision. For he would neither marry again, nor trust his daughter to female nurses and servants, nor even admit any of his own kinswomen into the house. He inaugurated his system at her very baptism, by giving his daughter the name of Michal. At first hearing, everyone, of course, takes this for a mans name, never suspecting that a damsel lurks behind it; perhaps only one among a thousand even knows that it is a girls name after all. Was not one of the wives of King David called Michal? she, I mean, who laughed when she saw the great King dancing in the street. So the reverend and learned gentleman christened his little daughter Michal, arguing that the Evil One would not so lightly venture to tackle a name with such a masculine ring about it.

Moreover, the very wise and proper regulation which not only separated the sexes, but made the men sit right behind the women, prevented her from ogling anybody even if she had a mind to. As for the students, they sat so high up in the choir that they could see nothing from thence but the notice-boards and the Decalogue. Further, the reverend gentleman never took Michal to weddings or other entertainments, the canonical[...]".
