It is observed, that "the foolisher the fowl or fish, woodcocks, dotterels, cod's-heads, &c. the finer the flesh thereof," and what are commonly the world's received fools, but such whereof the world is not worthy? and what have been some of the kindliest patterns of our species, but so many darlings of absurdity, minions of the goddess, and, her white boys?

One lot is wuth 'bout as much as t'other." Recovering the envelop that she had dropped, he squinted at the superscription.
"What beats me," he went on, "is where you picked up a yarn like that, for you haint follered the sea very much, I take it?" "Not very much," said Mr. Daddles. "Not that yer troubles with that there canoe proves anything," returned the skipper, "for foolisher things was never invented.

I'm still the same Eddie richer, balder, foolisher, perhaps. It seems you ought to know all about the ten years without being told. But I'll tell you. I'm an art collector on the sly. Pictures horrible things that don't look like anything. I don't know why I collect them, honestly. Pictures mean nothing to me. Never did. Particularly the kind I pick up. But it's a habit that keeps me cheerful.
