— The C. G. ("Commercial gents,") of a patronising turn, are really too awful.
— I invariably "draw the line," or rather endeavour to " draw the line," at this genus.

— At breakfast the " gushing" C. G. ii particularly a bore.
— I am always sulky at breakfast : most people, I believe, are.
— History records no noble or generous deed, that was promoted by that meal : it is essentially solitary ; it inaugurates the troubles of the day : it recalls the extra brandy and soda, or ill-luck at' whist the night before.
