...quite as good as money, and they have dipped into everything under the sun. The monotony of constant variety - the most maddering monotony on earth - has had its natural effect upon them. They find nothing interesting upon a superficial inspection. They are really too much exhausted to retain energy enough to devote themselves thoroughly to anything. And the result is that they amuse themselves, or rather that they try to think that they amuse themselves, by dressing well, lolling in comfortable arm-chairs, and yawning out between the puffs of tobacco-smoke all sorts of cynical complaints about the stupidity...

Le Moyne) does not keep his back straight, "buckets," fails to get enough reach with his back, does not sit up well at the finish, at times goes back too far, and raises his hands in the middle of the stroke. He pulls hard, and is capable, from his experience, of making a powerful...
