She reproached me and coaxed me; she was exceedingly sweet. 'Well, she said, in an odd, resigned fashion, 'rest a day with us; will you refuse me that? I consented; she knew not with what fretfulness. We went out to gaze at the shops and edifices, and I bought two light bags for slinging over the shoulder, two nightshirts, toothbrushes, and pocket-combs, and a large map of Germany.
"But not with three razors at once; and three hair-brushes, and half a dozen toothbrushes, and a small collection of combs, and four or five little glass bottles, looking as though they contained poison, all with silver tops. I can only suppose you desired to startle the weak mind of the chambermaid. I have put them all up; but remember this, if they are taken out again you are responsible.
Before him stood the washstand with its cold marble basin, the soap trays, washrags, toothbrushes, and other instruments of torture. He turned on the water and considered a moment as to just how far he should extend the waterline. Still, he was going to a party, her party, and his appearance must be beyond reproach.
It was the insurance and the toothbrushes all over again, and the old nervous, sour feeling inside. "At least we do have a vacation trip coming out of it, hon.

No, sir, I will not despair; it is only at moments when I have dined poorly that the horizon seems dark. Listen they have turned on the 'Kalophone, for you must know that all music now is beautifully made by machine so much easier for every one."
"First thing, I wanted to improve our wardrobe, for I had only one sock, a pair of shoes, and one clean shirt, which had become rather threadbare. My comrades had even less.
