It is a kind of article for which the demand does not increase with use If we should all wear spectacles like mine, we should never smile any more. Or  I am not quite sure  we should all be very happy." "A very important difference," said Prue, counting her stitches. IT IS A KIND OF ARTICLE FOR WHICH THE DEMAND DOES NOT INCREASE WITH USE IF WE SHOULD ALL WEAR SPECTACLES LIKE MINE WE SHOULD NEVER SMILE ANY MORE OR I AM NOT QUITE SURE WE SHOULD ALL BE VERY HAPPY A VERY IMPORTANT DIFFERENCE SAID PRUE COUNTING HER STITCHES
? I did not ask the question aloud. The very tone in which Prue had spoken, convinced me that he might. "At least," I said, "Mr. Titbottom will not refuse to tell us the history of his mysterious spectacles. I have known plenty of magic in eyes (and I glanced at the tender blue eyes of Prue), but I have not heard of any enchanted glasses." "Yet you must have seen the glass in which your wife looks every morning, and, I take it, that glass must be daily enchanted," said Titbottom, with a bow of quaint respect to my wife. I do not think I have seen such a blush upon Prue's cheek since--well, since a great many years ago. "I will gladly tell you the history of my spectacles," began Titbottom. "It is very simple; and I am not at all sure that a great many other people have not a pair of the same kind. I have never, indeed, heard of them by the gross, like those of our young friend, Moses, the you of the Vicar of Wakefield. In fact, I think a gross would be quite enough to supply the world. OK HER WORK CAN A MAN BE TOO FAR SIGHTED I DID NOT ASK THE QUESTION ALOUD THE VERY TONE IN WHICH PRUE HAD SPOKEN CONVINCED ME THAT HE MIGHT AT LEAST I SAID MISTER TIT BOTTOM WILL NOT REFUSE TO TELL US THE HISTORY OF HIS MYSTERIOUS SPECTACLES I KNOWN PLENTY OF MAGIC IN EYES AND I GLANCED AT THE TENDER BLUE EYES OF PRUE BUT I HAVE NOT HEARD OF ANY ENCHANTED GLASSES YET YOU MUST HAVE SEEN THE GLASS IN WHICH YOUR WIFE LOOKS EVERY MORNING AND I TAKE IT THAT GLASS MUST BE DAILY ENCHANTED SAID TIT BOTTOM WITH A BOW OF QUAINT RESPECT TO MY WIFE I DO NOT THINK I HAVE SEEN SUCH A BLUSH UPON PRUE'S CHEEKS SINCE WELL SINCE A GREAT MANY YEARS AGO I WILL GLADLY TELL YOU THE HISTORY OF MY SPECTACLES BEGAN TIT BOTTOM IT IS VERY SIMPLE AND I AM NOT AT ALL SURE THAT A GREAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NOT A PAIR OF THE SAME KIND I HAVE NEVER INDEED HEARD OF THEM BY THE GROSS LIKE THOSE OF OUR YOUNG FRIEND MOSES THE EW OF THE VICAR OF WAKEFIELD IN FACT I THINK A GROSS WOULD BE QUITE ENOUGH TO SUPPLY THE WORLD
