"I think I can give up tough dinde aux truffes for this beef, which must be good judging from the way in which that classmate of mine is devouring it. There is a charm in a hall like this; and the worthies who look down upon one from the walls are inspiring, - all of them, from the driest, pickled old Puritan, to the gallant young Colonel who fell at Wagner. There is richness in that gorgeous window, - but stop! the national bird done in colored glass...

He does not hope to improve his morals. Then his only motive in speaking must be the assertion of his own principles of morality, and his oracular opinion. We cannot see what good or what harm it does H. H., but the harm it does "G. E.," in establishing his reputation as a meddlesome character, is manifest.
