"Or lack of experience," added Bob. "No," said Welton, emphasizing his point with his pipe; "it's not sticking to business! It's not stripping her down to the bare necessities! It's going in for frills! When you get to be as old as I am, you learn not to monkey with the band wagon." His round, red face relaxed into one of his good-humoured grins, and he relit his pipe.
What he said was, in the positive tone of one emphasizing a curious and surprising statement, "D'you know, by the way, it's the one animal that doesn't care a rap for the cobra." And, my husband seeming to express disbelief and a desire to change the subject as they entered my boudoir, "It's a holy fact! Goes for it, so smart!

I have a vivid remembrance of how you looked that night at Arcot, when you turned so many heads."
