"The casting off of the conventional in sea-bathing always seems to me like the effect of those dreams where we appear in society insufficiently dressed, and wonder whether we can make it go." "Yes, isn't it?" His wife tried to cover all the propositions with one loosely fitting assent. "I'm surprised," Maxwell went on, "that some realistic wretch hasn't put this sort of thing on the stage.
We were promised, however, that the hotel would not close till October, and we made shift, with a warm chimney in one room and three gas-burners in another, if not to keep warm quite, yet certainly to get used to the cold. In the mean time the sea-bathing went resolutely on with all its forms.
I rejoice exceedingly I did not follow the advice of the physician and our good father to change the climate, and I hope my health will be established by hot sea-bathing and the warmth of the summer. "I can with safety put my hand on my heart and say it has been my study to please and make you happy, and I still flatter myself we shall meet before very long.
Healy, who was parish priest of Little Bray, used to entertain sick priests from the interior of Ireland who were ordered sea-bathing. One day he saw one of his guests, a young priest, rush into the sea, glass in hand, and begin drinking the sea water. "You mustn't do that, my dear fellow," cried Father Healy, aghast.
By this means I not only saw sea-bathing for the first time, but I saw a storm at sea: a squall struck us so suddenly that it blew away all the camp-stools of the forward promenade; it was very exciting, and I long meant to use in literature the black wall of cloud that settled on the water before us like a sort of portable midnight; I now throw it away upon the reader, as it were; it never would come in anywhere.

But otherwise all was a damp and dreary decorum. I challenged my philosopher in vain for a specific cause of his dislike of the scene. Most of the people on the sand were in bathing-dress, but there were a multitude of others who had apparently come for the sea-air and not the sea-bathing.
This year Michael persuaded Timéa not to try her health by the management of business; he would give it over to his agents, and she should go during the summer to some sea-bathing place, to get rid of her neuralgia. No one asked him where he was going. It was taken for granted that he would again travel to South America, and pretend he had been in Egypt or Italy.
"You know that Matilda wants sea-bathing; you know it, or ought to know it, by the looks of the child; and yet I know you, Caudle you'd have let the summer pass over, and never said a word about the matter. What do you say? "Not at all. I'm sure it will be cheaper for us in the end; for if we don't go, we shall all be ill every one of us in the winter.
