And I cannot help thinking that if the decadents of our day for whose distress of soul only the stony-hearted could express contempt would but for a week or two lay aside their fine linen, donning in its place the magic flannel shirt of Baden-Powell, they would find not only a happy issue to their jaundice, but even discover that the world is a good place for a man to spend his days in if he but live like a man.
Donning our air-tight suits and stepping carefully out upon this wonderful footing we attempted to detach some of the crystals.

He had hitherto only regarded his love-making with her as part in the comedy of life, wherein he played the lover, to her lead; doffing and donning the character at will. That she had taken either him or herself seriously had never entered into his mind.
