In 1906 she became assistant in Philosophy at the Leland Stanford Junior University, and in 1907, assistant in English.

A similar couplet is rendered by Evans, “He, with a sly, insinuating grace, Laugh’d at his friend, and look’d him in the face.” [4] Preface to _Every Man in his Humour_.

He also says, in _The Covent Garden Journal_: “Few men, I believe, do more admire the works of those great masters who have sent their satire (if I may use the expression) laughing into the world. Such are the great triumvirate, Lucian, Cervantes, and Swift.” [9] Browning: _Aristophanes’ Apology_. [10] Garnett, in the Enc. Brit. 9th edition. [11] “Wolves use their teeth against you, bulls their horn; Why, but that each is to the manner born?” _Satires_, I, 1. Conington, 46. Some modern echoes are heard. Says Byron,-- “Satiric rhyme first sprang from selfish spleen; You doubt--see Dryden, Pope, St. Patrick’s Dean.” _Hints from Horace._ Taine applies his general theory to this instance: “No wonder if in England a novelist writes satires. A gloomy and reflective man is impelled to it by his character; he is still further impelled by the surrounding manners.” _Hist. of Eng. Lit._ IV, 166. In Shaw’s _An Unsocial Socialist_, one character says of another: “Besides, Gertrude despises everyone, even us. Or rather, she doesn’t despise anyone in particular, but is contemptuous by nature, just as you are stout.” [12] _Scourge of Villainy._ [13] _Apology for Smectymnuus._ [14] “The end of Satire is reformation.” Preface to _The Trueborn Englishman_.
