And like a vessel filled to the brim and running over, he was so overflowing with delight in her beauty, and the pride of having so unique a specimen of womankind all to himself, that he could not contain his emotion, but sought relief in going about everywhere talking about her, and trying to get everybody to acknowledge, what he thought himself, that all other women in the world were absolutely nothing in comparison with his own wife.
Who acts: purpose, pride, everybody, other women · What happens: fill, run over, overflow, have, not contain, seek · To what, where: beauty, unique specimen, purpose, emotion, relief, everybody · Speech: someone speaks here
