Explain this quotation in details in the invisible japanese gentlemen

I had thought the two young people matching minatures, but what a contrast there was in fact. The same type of prettiness could contain weakness and strength.her regency counterpart, i suppose, would have born a Dozen children without the aid of anaesthetics, while he would have fallen an easy victim to the first dark eyes in naples. Would there one day be a Dozen books on her shelf? They have to be born without an anaesthetics, too. I found myself hoping that the chelsea set would prove to be a disaster and that eventually she would take up photographic modellling while he established himself solidly in the wine trade in st. James. I didn't like to think of her as the mrs humphrey ward of her generation not that i would live so long.old age saves us from the realisation of a great many fears. I wondered to which publishing firm mr dwight belonged. I could imagine the blurb he would have already written about her abrasive powers of observation. There would be a photo, if he was wise, on the back of the jacket, for reviewers as well as publishers, are human, and she didn't look like mrs humphrey ward

This quote speaks directly to the narrator's first impression of the young couple, and his obvious, incorrect presumptions. The couple is not alike, the young man is a realist..... the young woman is a dreamer. He also speaks to his own experiences, and the blatant mistakes the young woman, in her innocence, makes. He can envision Dwight's future actions because he has seen them before, he can compare her future to that of another because he personally witnessed her failure, he even knows enough to recommend the girl's picture be on the book jacket..... sales are often dependent upon an "attractive" presentation. Ironically, he also sees that the young man possesses the writer's gift for observation..... something the young woman, who presumes herself to be a writer, obviously lacks.
