The opening

CHAPTER I.

“Mouse,” said her husband to Lady Kenilworth, one morning at Homburg, “do you see that large pale woman over there, with a face like a crumpled whitey-brown paper bag?”

Lady Kenilworth looked.

“Yes,” she said, impatiently. “Yes. Well?—what?—why?”

“Well, she rolls—she absolutely rolls—wallows—biggest pile ever made out West.”

The whole book is in the Sphinx app.
