Small wonder that Miss West remains sea-sick on an ocean like this, which has become a factory where the veering gales manufacture the selectest and most mountainous brands of cross-seas.
Baines, it should be stated, had on Friday afternoon sent to Miss Chetwynd one of her most luxurious notes lavender- coloured paper with scalloped edges, the selectest mode of the day to announce, in her Italian hand, that Constance and Sophia would both leave school at the end of the next term, and giving reasons in regard to Sophia.
"Oh, Simon, ain't that pink one a beauty! Ain't that skirt the swellest thing you ever seen!" "That's the Piquette model, girlie. You and all New York will be buyin' it in another month.

And all gilt-edged five-hundred-per-cent. stock, every detail of it; the tidiest little property in Europe; and that graveyard it's the selectest in the world: none but suicides admitted; YES, sir, and the free-list suspended, too, ALL the time.
What years and years of the selectest experiences are needed to teach the average divinity student to know himself, to track out and run to earth his own heart, and thus to lay open and read other men's hearts to their self-deceived owners in the light of his own.
