From the sketch here given it will be seen, that our good grandmothers differed considerably in their
ideas of a fine figure, from their scantily dressed descendants of the present day. A fine lady, in those
times, waddled under more clothes even on a fair summer's day, than would have clad the whole bevy of
a modern ball room. Nor were they the less admired by the gentlemen in consequence thereof. On the
contrary, the greatness of a lover's passion seemed to increase in proportion to the magnitude of its
object-and a voluminous damsel, arrayed in a dozen of petticoats, was declared by a Low-Dutch
sonnetteer of the province, to be radiant as a sunflower, and luxuriant as a full blown cabbage. Certain it
is, that in those days, the heart of a lover could not contain more than one lady at a time; whereas the
heart of a modern gallant has often room enough to accommodate half a dozen - The reason of which !
conclude to be, either that the hearts of the gentlemen have grown larger, or the persons of the ladies
smaller -- this however is a question for physiologists to determine.
Read the excerpt then correctly punctuate the following paragraph:
Irving continues in those days, the heart of lover could not contain more than one lady at a time a modern gallant has
often room enough to accommodate half a dozen either the hearts of the gentleman have grown larger, or the persons
of the ladies smaller
