Nor do I consider it fair to expect me to atend Social Functions and present a good appearence on a small Allowence, when I would often prefer a simple game of tennis or to lie in a hammick, or to converce with some one I am interested in, of the Other Sex.

Standish agreed to the terms with that financial recklessness characteristic of his island, and the old man regretted he had not asked a third more.

With deep regret it must be here admitted that young Standish was an artist.
