One would like to know if he is really as unhappy as he would make every one believe.

I have a notion he is not, but is the victim of a habit which he has allowed to grow on him till it is past shaking off.

Moral, boys: When you catch yourselves grumbling, make sure the grievance is a real one.

If it is, don't be content with grumbling, but follow it up till the wrong is put right.

But if you find yourself growling merely because it sounds a fine thing to do, then let growl number one be not only the first but the last performance of the kind; and no one then will be able to growl at you..
