A Florentine had in his home a young man who instructed his children
in the elements of knowledge. After a long stay, the young
tutor felt himself so much at home that he had in turn the
housemaid, the nurse, and finally the mistress herself.
When the master of the house, who was a jovial fellow
discovered this, he summoned the young man to his private
chamber and said: “I find it unmannerly of you, sir, that in taking
your pleasure of my entire household you
have made an exception of me.”
