Excerpt from Phyllida, Vol. 1 of 3: A Life Drama
Your theory is all very well as a theory, but it won"t wash, my Saint Bernard, it wont wash." But after a while spent in watching the rings of cloudy blue smoke, with which he was doing his best to fill the apartment, Nelson Cole seemed to determine that his friend"s letter was too good to lie upon the floor, for he took the trouble to bring his legs down to their normal position in order that he might pick it up, and smooth out its creased pages on his knee. "Poor dear Freshfield," he thought, somewhat contemptuously as he did so, "he is a deal too good for such a naughty world! He sees no further beyond him than a week-old puppy. He ought to come to this country to get his eyes opened. He"d see a few marriages here and a few women that would make him view his impossible ideal in its proper light. How can a man live to eight-and-twenty and remain so green!"
