A House-Boat on the Styx

CHAPTER XII: THE HOUSE-BOAT DISAPPEARS
14/30

"Caesar's wife is along, and you can't dispute the fact that she's a good chaperon.

They've been after our club for years; now let 'em have it, and let us hope that they like it.

Order me up a hemlock sour, and let's drink to their enjoyment of club life." Which was done, and I, in spirit, drank with them, for I sincerely hope that the "New Women" of Hades are having a good time.
