In the parlors what scenes of lights and music, sheen of satins, flashing of gems; in the dining rooms what feastings as in hale England, with all the robust humors of the warm land, of the warm heart. Near the middle of the block and shaded by forest trees, stood with its heirlooms and treasures the home of Isabel's grandmother.
Brandreth sent me samples of his pills, which he said were unequaled for purging politicians of all those ill humors they were heirs to. Barnum, too, considering me a remarkable curiosity, sent two tickets to his great show house, which the vulgar called a museum.
