1746. Such are those who care too much for the outer skin and take pleasure in everything to do with it, who are sometimes called "dainty"*. They feel repulsion, even annoyance, at any good or essential work, for those spirits encircle such people and keep them company, and hold them back in the manner described. As concerns for the skin are very many, there are kinds and species of such people. * The Latin term is delicati.
