Sat?ne piallard d'enfant va!...laisse moi donc composer en paix mon ode..., 1844. 'Satan? piallard d'enfant va!...laisse moi donc composer en paix mon ode sur le bonheur de la maternit?!..../C'est bon, c'est bon,...il va se taire...je vais aller lui donner le fouet dans l'autre pi?ce...(? part.) dans le fait, de tous les ouvrages de ma femme c'est bien celui qui fait le plus de bruit dans le monde!..., (Wife: Damned squealing child!... Let me compose in peace my ode on the joys of motherhood!...Husband: All right, all right,...he will be quiet...I am going to give him a whipping in the other room...(aside) in fact, of all my wife's creations, it is this one that makes the most noise in the world!). Satirical criticism of 'bluestockings': women with interests beyond housework and childcare. Female authors were often depicted as mannish and ugly - the implication being that their intellectual output was just as objectionable as their looks.
