"That none may dub thee tactless dund'rhead, Confine thy pen to light chit-chat, And rattle on as might a letter! For ninety-nine of every hundred Hate learning and what's more than that, The hundredth man likes berresh better."
One of the tortures of jealousy is, that it can never turn its eyes away from the thing that pains it. 'By-and-by every one felt the need of a relief from chit-chat Sir Christopher perhaps the most of all and it was he who made the acceptable proposition 'Come, Tina, are we to have no music to-night before we sit down to cards?
The men smoked at Olive's request; and she herself lighted one of a special brand of cigarettes which she had made for her by Antonides. "I hate to have my drawing-room smelling of afternoon-tea and feminine chit-chat," she explained. "The two Carleton-Wingate frumps called on me this afternoon for a couple of solid hours' boring, which they dignify to themselves as a duty call.
After Quixotte had concluded his harangues, William chose a "Man of Feeling" for his companion, who wrought upon his passions in a way which pleased him vastly.

With all the honors heaped upon him, he never forgot his youthful associates.
