People may say what they like about the decay of Christianity; the religious system that produced green Chartreuse can never really die. PEOPLE MAY SAY WHAT THEY LIKE ABOUT THE DECAY OF CHRISTIANITY THE RELIGIOUS SYSTEM THAT PRODUCED GREEN CHARTRUCE CAN NEVER REALLY DIE
u can't choose your aunt, it is wisest in the long-run to choose the present and send her the bill. Even friends of one's own set, who might be expected to know better, have curious delusions on the subject. I am _not_ collecting copies of the cheaper editions of Omar Khayyam. I gave the last four that I received to the lift-boy, and I like to think of him reading them, with FitzGerald's notes, to his aged mother. Lift-boys always have aged mothers; shows such nice feeling on their part, I think. Personally, I can't see where the difficulty in choosing suitable presents lies. No boy who had brought himself up properly could fail to appreciate one of those decorative bottles of liqueurs that are so reverently staged in Morel's window--and it wouldn't in the least matter if one did get duplicates. And there would always be the supreme moment of dreadful uncertainty whether it was _creme de menthe_ or Chartreuse--like the expectant thrill on seeing your partner's hand turned up at bridge. DING THESE THINGS BUT IF YOU CAN'T CHOOSE YOUR AUNT IT IS WISEST IN THE LONG RUN TO CHOOSE THE PRESENT AND SEND HER THE BILL EVEN FRIENDS OF ONE'S OWN SET WHO MIGHT BE EXPECTED TO KNOW BETTER HAVE CURIOUS DELUSIONS ON THE SUBJECT I AM NOT COLLECTING COPIES OF THE CHEAPER EDITIONS OF OMAR KHAYAM I GAVE THE LAST FOUR THAT I RECEIVED TO THE LIFT BOY AND I LIKE TO THINK OF HIM READING THEM WITH FITZGERALD'S NOTES TO HIS AGED MOTHER LIVED BOYS ALWAYS HAVE AGED MOTHERS SHOWS SUCH NICE FEELING ON THEIR PART I THINK PERSONALLY I CAN'T SEE WHERE THE DIFFICULTY IN CHOOSING SUITABLE PRESENTS LIES NO BOY WHO HAD BROUGHT HIMSELF UP PROPERLY COULD FAIL TO APPRECIATE ONE OF THOSE DECORATIVE BOTTLES OF LIQUEURS THAT ARE SO REVERENTLY STAGED IN MORREL'S WINDOW AND IT WOULDN'T IN THE LEAST MATTER IF ONE DID GET DUPLICATES AND THERE WOULD ALWAYS BE THE SUPREME MOMENT OF DREADFUL UNCERTAINTY WHETHER IT WAS KREMDA MYNTH OR SHARTESE LIKE THE EXPECTANT THRILL ON SEEING YOUR PARTNER'S HAND TURNED UP AT BRIDGE
