Thousand dollar appendicitis operations ought to be quite common with you from the outset, with Anne to talk you up a bit among the people who belong to her set and who are always looking for something to keep them from being bored to death.

I understand that anybody who has an appendix nowadays is looked upon as exceedingly vulgar and is not even tolerated in good society.

As for a man having a sound liver,--well, that kind of a liver is absolutely inexcusable.

Nobody has one to-day if he can afford to have the other kind.

Good livers always have livers,--and so do bad livers, for that matter.
