Short Fiction · When Doctors Disagree (3/3)

Arthur W.⁠—Jealousy, Arthur W., is not only the most wicked, but the most foolish of passions. Shakespeare says:⁠—

It is the green-eyed monster, which doth mock

The meat it feeds on.

You admit that you have frequently caused great distress to the young lady of your affections by your exhibition of this weakness. Exactly. There is nothing a girl dislikes or despises more than jealousy. Be a man, Arthur W. Fight against it. You may find it hard at first, but persevere. Keep a smiling face. If she seems to enjoy talking to other men, show no resentment. Be merry and bright. Believe me, it is the only way.
