I could introduce her to society here, and, I have found don't think me conceited that there is nothing that improves an English gentleman so much as having an American wife. If some of your nice young American gentlemen would marry some English girls and transplant them to American soil, I think the English-speaking race would benefit thereby.
The contemplation of them cannot fail to fire the genius of any artist of taste, and prompt his efforts towards the attainment of that grand style, which, disdaining the minute accidental particularities of individual objects, improves partial representation by the general and invariable ideas of nature.
The door creaked, the lock gave way; Rutley, falling in with the door, just escaped collision with the perturbed girl. He was told to go. "What does this mean?" demanded Lady Douglass. "Why are you in the billiard-room alone, Miss Higham?" "I'm not alone. Your brother is here." "That scarcely improves the look of affairs. Jim, where are you?"
Then she laughed again as she looked at her companion's flushed countenance and generally distressed appearance. "What a comfort," she said, "that we won't look quite such objects at dinner-time! I always find a bath improves my complexion, don't you?" Mrs Markham gave an impatient grunt. "As if it mattered what one looks like in a bath!" she said.

The traveler Burton says of it "Your MORALE improves; you become frank and cordial, hospitable and single-minded.... In the desert, spirituous liquors excite only disgust. There is a keen enjoyment in a mere animal existence."
