They conformed to the excellent dietary rules in public, and in private drew upon the luxurious rations of their village caterer.

Dinners and drinks, backgammon and billiards, the lightest opera, the trashiest novels, the most sensational melodrama are the most elevating of their leisure's activities. Read? Hunt? Farm?
