Had it suddenly broke in upon you while you were shaving, its effect might have been felt acutely ; but you were just fixing the last shirt-stud, and a slight crumple is the sole consequence. You ring the bell hastily,...
الصفحة 204 - Morning is the time for the trial to which we allude. You have an appointment of very considerable importance, and it must be kept, or you have made up your mind, moved by the seductive serenity of the day, to take an easy stroll and clear off an arrear of pleasant calls ; you must go.
