Look upon me as a member of that ancient fraternity, and you will sensibly add to the many obligations which Thomas Idle is proud to owe to Francis Goodchild. Here, fatigued by the effort of excessive talking, disputatious Thomas waved one hand languidly, laid his head back on the sofa- pillow, and calmly closed his eyes. At a later period, Mr.
Francis Goodchild could not but observe that the Doctor accompanied these words with a benignant and protecting glance at their subject, in which there was much of the expression with which an attached father might have looked at a heavily afflicted son. Yet, that they were not father and son must have been plain to most eyes.
In ten minutes more Idle was lost in the distance again, was shouted for, waited for, recovered as before; found Goodchild repeating his observation of the compass, and remonstrated warmly against the sideway route that his companions persisted in following.
'By Heaven, Tom! cried he, after contemplating it, 'I am in the Lunatic Asylum again, and these are all mad people under the charge of a body of designing keepers! All through the Race-Week, Mr. Goodchild never divested himself of this idea.
Wigton market was over, and its bare booths were smoking with rain all down the street. Mr. Goodchild went to the window to take an observation of Wigton, and report what he saw to his disabled companion. 'Brother Francis, brother Francis, cried Thomas Idle, 'What do you see from the turret?

In brief, it was the most delightful place ever seen. 'But, Thomas Idle asked, 'where is it? 'It's what you may call generally up and down the beach, here and there, said Mr.
F.M. Goodchild, "to send our young people into the midst of the excitements and temptations of a great city with no more preparation than if they were going to live in Paradise." In the case of women, ignorance has the further disadvantage that it deprives them of the knowledge necessary for intelligent sympathy with other women.

The Doctor soon perceived it, and, after falling silent, and musing in a little perplexity, said: 'Lorn! 'My dear Doctor. 'Would you go to the Inn, and apply that lotion? You will show the best way of applying it, far better than Mr. Goodchild can. 'With pleasure.
