Contrary to the Pharisee, I say 'Thank God I am as other men are! I have my human moments, but mostly it bores me, and especially these half-religious, half-sentimental confidences of emotional women who imagine their lives are tragedies. Now this woman believes her marriage is unhappy " "Indeed, it is!"
Do you see that old fellow in the white beard under the gallery? He is one of the chartered bores. When he gets up to-night the House will dine. I shall come up and look for you, and hand you over to a friend if I may a Staffordshire member, who has his wife here Mrs. Lane. I have engaged a table, and I can start with you.

It is comparatively easy to define the Bromide; let us consider his traits and then classify the Sulphite by a mere process of exclusion. In this our world the Bromides constitute, alas! by far the larger group.

"And what a mouth! An arm of the sea in which one island, Marajo, has a circumference of more than five hundred leagues!" "And whose waters the ocean does not pond back without raising in a strife which is phenomenal, a tide-race, or 'pororoca, to which the ebbs, the bores, and the eddies of other rivers are but tiny ripples fanned up by the breeze."
"I'm not at all certain that I wish to be consistent," Sally asserted. "So glad for your sake!" Bobby returned quickly. Thayer looked up inquiringly.
