1636 Quotes

“a first-time father when his wife is in labor.” Johann could hear the humor in the older man’s voice, and he did not doubt a smile was also present. “How do you mean?” Big Georg asked. “Well, he knows he’s responsible for what is going on, and he wants to do something to make sure everything goes right, but he does not know what to do and is totally dependent on someone else who does not want or need his help to get it done.”
― David Carrico, 1636: Flight of the Nightingale
