Bath rebukes my last fit of ambition, and the experience is very well worth the expense.

You have a mind, Richie, for discussing outlay, upon which I congratulate you, so long as you do not overlook equivalents.

The system of the world is barter varied by robbery.

Show that you have something in hand, and you enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that you were not robbed.

I pledge you my word to it--I shall not repeat Bath.
