Those dear creatures who are the most indifferent to their husbands, are those who are cloyed by too much surfeiting of the sugar-plums and lollipops of Love.
A young man enters during the journey for the trade is carried out while the cars are traveling, as is also a very brisk trade in lollipops, sugar-candy, apples, and ham sandwiches the young tradesman enters the car firstly with a pile of magazines, or of novels bound like magazines.
