It is worse, I think, when the fair, penitent, innocent, credulous dupe becomes in her turn the deceiver when she catches vice from the breath upon which she has hung when she ripens, and mellows, and rots away into painted, blazing, staring, wholesale harlotry when, in her turn, she ruins warm youth with false smiles and long bills and when worse worse than all when she has children, daughters perhaps, brought up to the same trade, cooped, plumper, for some hoary lecher, without a heart in their bosoms, unless a balance for weighing money may be called a heart.

Their juicy globes and disks and fluted cylindrical columns are almost the only desert wells that never go dry, and they always seem to rejoice the more and grow plumper and juicier the hotter the sunshine and sand. Some are spherical, like rolled-up porcupines, crouching in rock-hollows beneath a mist of gray lances, unmoved by the wildest winds.

But the party preferred to make use of their lines from the raft moored at the edge of the deep water, where they were not long in securing half-a-dozen fine fish partaking of the appearance of the John Dory as far as the great heads were concerned, but in bodily shape plumper and thicker of build.

"I'm out to-morrow, parson," he resumes; the massive fingers of his right hand wandering into his crispy, red beard, and again over his scarred face. "Mayor's election comes off two weeks from Friday-couldn't do without me-can knock down any quantity of men-you throw a plumper, I take it?"

"But I have seen him." "Well? What sort of man is he?" "The devil knows him! What have I to do with him?" "Is he like his father?"

"Well, let them do it!" "They'll rob you. You'll become a pauper.

And you will go on becoming more and more famous, and she will grow plumper and more placid, and less and less understanding of what those komisch medical journals have to say so often about her husband who is always discovering things.
