Mr. Cooke quite over-reached himself in that wedding.
A few great families cotton, linen, hempen, woollen, silk, mohair, alpaca into what an infinite variety of genera and species do not these great families subdivide themselves? And does it take less labour, with less intelligence, to master all these and to acquire familiarity with their various habits, habitats and prices than it does to master the details of any other great branch of science?
The clerk consulted the sign appended to the sample, then raced through a smaller, supplementary volume, where he located the item in question.
