Excerpt: ...unless you wish me to do it. You really never seem to understand when things are really important. Do you wish me to have a great fever in the house? It is a fortnight since your boards were scrubbed; and how can you think of smoking? Very well, Tilly, I can have it by-and-by, ''upon the dancing waves,'' as little Tommy has picked up the song. Only I can not let the men on duty; and to see them longing destroys my pleasure. Lord, how many times I should like to pass my pipe to Dick, or Ellis, if discipline allowed of it! A thing of that sort is not like feeding, which must be kept apart by nature; but this by custom only. And a very good custom, and most needful, answered Mrs. Carroway. I never can see why men should want to do all sorts of foolish things with tobacco R. D.
