I shan't wonder how my infinite variety could have palled. Arthur, dear, am I a disappointing person, do you find? Ought I to be able to write you different sorts of letters, tenderer, more loving letters? But, you see, it wouldn't be me if I could.

The curate woke up in the presence of the unwinged, and saw that the woman had left the shop. "I did let her have the print at cost-price," Mr. Drew went on, laughing merrily.
