My Lady Nicotine

CHAPTER XXXIII
2/11

Were we to present a tin of it to our national heroes, instead of the freedom of the city, they would probably thank us more.

Jimmy and the others are quite unworthy to smoke it; indeed, if I had my way they would give up smoking altogether.
Nothing, perhaps, shows more completely how I have severed my bonds than this: that my wife is willing to let our friends smoke in the study, but I will not hear of it.

There shall be no smoking in my house; and I have determined to speak to Jimmy about smoking out at our spare bedroom window.
