As he took off a white napless hat, which he wiped with great care and affection with the sleeve of his right arm, a profusion of stiff curls instantly betrayed the art of man.

Park, race and play, in his capacious plan, Combined with Coke to form the finished man, Until the wig's ambrosial influence shed Its last full glories on the lawyer's head. "But vain are mortal schemes.
You'll find a comfort in it now your wig's gone. Deh! what are we sinners doing all our lives? Making soup in a basket, and getting nothing but the scum for our stomachs. Better buy a blessing, madonna! Only four quattrini; the profit is not so much as the smell of a danaro, and it goes to the poor."
And Patten dressed me in such a hurry this morning which was really my fault, and I know my wig's not straight and there you stand staring at it as though you wanted to kiss it I mean Cleone's letter, not my wig. That ridiculous Mr.
Panton so last night the wig's my test of your uprightness in this matter, sir; and I fairly tell you, that if you refuse this, all the words you can string don't signify a button with me."
An your wig's the latest fashion, the wits under 't don't matter " "Have a care, sir," I warned, "here comes a fellow!"
