but ever since he started a cucumber-frame last summer hehas regarded himself in the light of an agriculturist, and talks inthis absurd way with the idea of impressing the rest of the terracewith the notion that he is a retired farmer. I can only hope that forthis once he is correct, and that the weather really is doing good tosomething, because it is doing me a considerable amount of damage. Itis spoiling both my clothes and my temper. The latter I can afford,as I have a good supply of it, but it wounds me to the quick to see mydear old hats and trousers sinking, prematurely worn and aged, beneaththe cold world's blasts and snows.
There is my new spring suit, too. A beautiful suit it was, and now itis hanging up so bespattered with mud I can't bear to look at it.
That was Jim's fault, that was. I should never have gone out in itthat night if it had not been for him. I was just trying it on whenhe came in. He threw up his arms with a wild yell the moment becaught sight of it, and exclaimed that he had "got 'em again!"I said: Zach Bogosian Jersey "Does it fit all right behind?""Spiffin, old man," he replied. And then he wanted to know if I wascoming out.
I said "no" at first, but he overruled me. He said that a Zach Parise Jersey man with asuit like NHL Mens Boston Bruins Rinkside Grayton Pullover Hoodie - Black that bad no right to stop indoors. "Every citizen," saidhe, "owes a duty to the public. Each one should contribute to thegeneral happiness as far as lies in his Vladislav Namestnikov Jersey power. Come out and give Ugg Classic Short Paisley 5831 thegirls a treat."Jim is Buckle Mini Škornji 5854 slangy. I don't know where he picks it up. It certainly isnot from meI said: "Do you think it will really please 'em?" He said it wouldbe like a day in the country to them.
That decided me. It was a lovely evening and I went.
When I got home I undressed and rubbed myself down with whisky, put myfeet in hot water and a mustard-plaster on my chest, had a basin ofgruel and a glass of hot brandy-and-water, tallowed my nose, and wentto bed.
These prompt and vigorous measures, aided by Belstaff Brooklands Blouson Kurtki a naturally strongconstitution, were the means of preserving my life; but as for thesuit! Well, there, it isn't a suit; it's a splash-board.
And I did fancy that suit, too. But that's just the way. I never doget particular{y fond of anything in this world but what somethingdreadful happens to it. I had a tame rat when I was a boy, James Patrick Jersey and Iloved that animal as only a boy would love an Belstaff Roadmaster Blouson Kurtki old water-rat; and oneday it fell into a large dish of gooseberry-fool that was standing tocool in the kitchen, and nobody knew what had become of the poorcreature until the second helping.
I do hate wet Trevor Lewis Jersey weather in town. At least, it is not so much the wet asthe mud that Bobby Hull Jersey I object to. Somehow or other I seem to possess anirresistible alluring power over mud. I have only to show myself inthe street on a muddy day to be half-smothered by it. It all comes ofbeing so attractive, as the old lady said when she was struck bylightning.
