I don't believe that he has a grey hair in his head. He is a far handsomer man than Susan Cheyne's sister's husband." "I know it; he was pointed out to me in the street. Is he very fond of you, Leslie?" "I suppose a little, or he would not have me." "Does he flatter you, pretend that you are a queen, say all manner of fine things to you? I should like to be enlightened."
The car cracked in the utter drouth and glare, and they put crushed ice to Mrs. Cheyne's neck, and toiled up the long, long grades, past Ash Fork, towards Flagstaff, where the forests and quarries are, under the dry, remote skies. The needle of the speed-indicator flicked and wagged to and fro; the cinders rattled on the roof, and a whirl of dust sucked after the whirling wheels.
At supper, Lady Macleod mentioned Dr Cadogan's book on the gout. JOHNSON. 'It is a good book in general, but a foolish one in particulars. It is good in general, as recommending temperance and exercise, and cheerfulness. In that respect it is only Dr Cheyne's book told in a new way; and there should come out such a book every thirty years, dressed in the mode of the times.
