`` Mr. Brown , I have the honour of wishing you a good evening . '' `` Stay , sir -- stay ; you have not looked into these things belonging to the late Lady Waddilove .

' So here I am in London , with an order for 1000 pounds in my purse , the wisdom of Dr. Latinas in my head , and the health of eighteen in my veins ; will it not be my own fault if I do not both enjoy and make myself -- '' And then , yielding to meditations of future success , partaking strongly of the inexperienced and sanguine temperament of the soliloquist , Clarence passed the hours till his pillow summoned him to dreams no less ardent and perhaps no less unreal .
