...there yet exists a certain lure in conversational bridge. A judicious phrase, a word here and there when not carried to the extreme of actual information, often turns a dull hand into a delightful bluff. A finesse is transformed from a mere mathematical chance to a palpitating affair of flesh and blood. While the game still retains its intelligent halo, the human factor which makes poker endurable is also added...

...does not like to wash dirty linen in public, but enough is enough. The condition of Hemenway would hardly be fitting for an abbatoir. Nor are the results far to seek. If the man next to you in class wears a mask of diseased flesh, he is a wrestler who lost a bout to one or several of the loathsome skin infections that roam at large in our gymnasium. And if, presently you wear a similar mask, though you never went within a block of Hemenway, it just goes to prove that rumour is not the only thing that spreads...

Countless eyewitnesses testify to his evident delight in scorched palms and bruised flesh. For many years he journeyed often to London and personally drew the gold and silver which he scattered, from a bank which allegedly received some $20,000 a week from the administrators of his property in the U. S. For years a group of London beggars made pilgrimages to Brightlingsea...

...call himself a true student, does he remain uncongenial to philosophy. For philosophy, to mention the obvious, is the circle of which all the sciences and history and literature and the segments. It is man's attempt to see the whole in a manner abstracted from the prejudices of flesh and the trivialities of custom.
