...whole world laughs at him behind his back. Now I don't happen to know your friend Smith, but from your account of him I strongly suspect that he is a brother of my old classmate, of whom you have often heard me speak. He had a great deal more money than he knew what to do with; and, as a natural consequence, he patronized the best (i. e. most expensive) tradesmen that he could find. His clothes were always of the newest cut; his cravats a week or two ahead of anybody else; his cigar-boxes and wine-bottles...

The book, as a whole, may possibly be better than the extracts...
...removal of the present steward be made an issue. We are of the same mind with the Advocate as to both these points, and are happy to state that the elections held this week have resulted largely in the choice of men pledged to vote for a "new deal." But the difficulty to be anticipated is the interference of the Corporation. In allowing the Hall to be used as a Commons, they reserved the right of vetoing any action of the directors which, in their opinion, endangered the health or financial condition of the association. On the score of health...
