"Is it a good house?"—"Not a better on the Coast for cleanliness, civility, and the best of everything to eat and drink."

" I always fancied a fellow would have the miserables in such a lonely spot ; why, I'm told there is no one to speak to ?" —" Don't you believe it; you put in an hour or two with Jim Erskine or old Tom Wilson, and I'll guarantee they'll keep you alive."
