The Cousin. The cousin is a common small animal, slender, elegant, light, which slips into the interior of dwellings in order to bring trouble and restlessness to the inhabitants. He is the horror of husbands and causes them tenacious insomnia. His song on the other hand seems to be very melodious to bored young ladies. If one can believe our most serious natural scientists and especially the contemporary comedians, there are only very few marriages which are not affected by at least one little cousin. They are very difficult to get rid of. When thrown out by the door, they come back through the window.
