Nothing more happened. "We must go away for a while," said Keith, "or else he won't touch it. He does not object to alcohol, you know.
I am one of those fortunate persons, you see, who have realized an actual reincarnation. I have the advantage of having looked out upon life from two different sets of windows.

The air was hot, steamy, and loaded with a smell as of rotting vegetation.

He was rather better dressed than usual: wearing the same suit of threadbare black, it is true, but having round his neck an unwholesome-looking cravat of a yellowish white; and, on his hands, great leather gloves, such as a gardener might wear in following his trade.
