Too Much.

“How did you rest last night?” As she spoke the hostess glanced with a non-expectant look at her guest and a show of assumed interest. The guest smiled grimly. “I never slept worse in my life,” he replied. “The bed was poor, the sheets were sticky, the room was poorly ventilated, and between the servants moving around overhead and the dog barking underneath my window, I scarcely closed my eyes.” The hostess in a rage left the room and presently returned with her husband. “Put that man out of the house at once!” she gasped. “What!” exclaimed her astonished husband. “Has he insulted you?” “He has indeed,” replied, his indig nant wife. “Here I have been keeping house for years and he is the on|y one who has. dared to tell me the truth.” —Colliers Weekly.
