A young man may have been to a certain village on endless excursions of pleasure, when his pulse beat as gloriously as the bass drum on a grand circus-entry into town, yet when he has to go to the depot to take the cars for that same town to sell goods there for the first time in his life, it is harder to carry his heart to the train than it is ...

There on the summer lawn he stood, unconsciously deliberating how best to give new expression to the personality of Archibald Pennybet.
