It is very wrong of you not to come too, and the reasons you give against it are by no means conclusive.

My opinion is that, whatever the term of your natural life may be, you would probably have an additional ten years fastened on to it by coming to the Continent, and so I tease you and tease you, as is natural to such an opinion.

People twirl now in their arm-chairs, and the vitality in them kindles as they rush along.

Remember how pleased you were when you were at Como! Don't draw a chalk circle round you and fancy you can't move.

Even tables and chairs have taken to move lately, and hats spin round without a giddy head in them.
