I will not stay an hour longer than is necessary in this horrible place, which is as dismal as it is huge. Yesterday I visited the gymnasium and the better class of baths wretched, I call them! It is an insult to the fish-market and the horse-ponds of Alexandria to compare them with them." "And the theatre!" exclaimed the Jew. "The exterior one can bear to look at but the acting!
Recollect, Jack, that although in preaching against wrong and advocating the rights of man, you will be treated as a martyr, it is still your duty to persevere; and if you are dragged through all the horse-ponds in the kingdom, never give up your argument."

He spends the night in frolics and debauchery, and leads off his companions with the familiar song, "we won't go home till morning."
