After some time of this, he wearied of his honorary exile. Its expense, for one thing, was a burden. Perhaps his fingers began to itch for the familiar feeling of the scorching pen.

It was no longer the world in which...

It is now the triumphal hour of the imbecile millionaire, the rich society woman, who has nerves, hysteria, a vast deal of impudence, a store of proverbial piatitude, and a continual itch for notoriety; actresses that have more gowns than brains; English lords and ladies, and some assinine royalities.
