When a man of the world meets with a gay, thoughtless, amusing person, he seldom thinks of inquiring whether such a one be immoral, or an unbeliever, or a profligate, though the bent of his conversation rather leans that way.

I know you've got a fearful headache, or something. Tell me!" "Not at all." "You are ill I'm sure of it." "Not at all." "On your word?" "I'm really quite all right."
