St. Thomas's has injured you socially; you have become a hermit-crab all at once, and it is such nonsense at your age. 'Oh, let me be, Sara! I pleaded; 'I am tired, and Lesbia always chatters so; and Mrs. Fullerton is worse. Besides, did you not tell me she was coming to dine with us this evening?
As public edifices they conspicuously stand upon the hot and dusty Plaza, offering to view, through the gratings, their villainous and hopeless inmates, burrowing in all sorts of tragic squalor.
