This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1900 edition. Excerpt: ..."Why, that humility is right enough," said Lasca, " if one does not carry it too far--but what does the place look like?" "Well, necessarily it looks pretty barren and unfinished, but--" "I should think so! I never heard anything like it. Is it a fine house--thaf is, otherwise?" "Pretty fine, yes.

"Well, they are pretty good--good enough--but they are not made of ice-blocks." "I want to know! Why aren't they made of ice-blocks?" I explained the difficulties in the way, and the expensiveness of ice in a country where you have to keep a sharp eye on your ice-man or your icebill will weigh more than your ice. Then she cried out: "Dear me, do you buy your ice?" "We most surely do, dear." She burst into a gale of guileless laughter, and said: "Oh, I never heard of anything so silly! My, there's plenty...
