It is a good thing to meditate upon our own vileness, Miss Hugonin  to reflect that we are but worms with naturally the most vicious inclinations. IT IS A GOOD THING TO MEDITATE UPON OUR OWN VILENESS MISS YGONAN TO REFLECT THAT WE ARE BUT WORMS WITH NATURALLY THE MOST VICIOUS INCLINATIONS
the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts, but its visions of existence are rose-tinged and free from care, and its conception of the responsibilities of manhood--such as taxes and the water-rate--I may safely characterise as extremely sketchy. But pray be seated, Miss Hugonin," Petheridge Jukesbury blandly urged. Common courtesy forced her to comply. So Margaret seated herself on a little red rustic bench. In the moonlight--but I think I have mentioned how Margaret looked in the moonlight; and above her golden head the Eagle, sculptured over the door-way, stretched his wings to the uttermost, half-protectingly, half-threateningly, and seemed to view Mr. Jukesbury with a certain air of expectation. "A beautiful evening," Petheridge Jukesbury suggested, after a little cogitation. She conceded that this was undeniable. "Where Nature smiles, and only the conduct of man is vile and altogether what it ought not to be," he continued, with unction--"ah, how true that is and how consoling! UTH AS THE POET ADMIRABLY SAYS MONSIEGONAN THE THOUGHTS OF YOUTH ARE LONG LONG THOUGHTS BUT ITS VISIONS OF EXISTENCE ARE ROSE TINGED AND FREE FROM CARE AND ITS CONCEPTION OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF MANHOOD SUCH AS TAXES AND THE WATER RATE I MAY SAFELY CHARACTERIZE AS EXTREMELY SKETCHY BUT PRAY BE SEATED MISS HUGONAN PETHERIDGE JUKESBURY BLANDLY URGED COMMON COURTESY FORCED HER COMPLY SO MARGARET SEATED HERSELF ON A LITTLE RED RUSTIC BENCH IN THE MOONLIGHT BUT I THINK I HAVE MENTIONED HOW MARGARET LOOKED IN THE MOONLIGHT AND ABOVE HER GOLDEN HEAD THE EAGLE SCULPTURED OVER THE DOORWAY STRETCHED HIS WINGS TO THE UTTERMOST HALF PROTECTINGLY HALF THREATENINGLY AND SEEMED TO VIEW MISTER JUKESBURY WITH A CERTAIN AIR OF EXPECTATION A BEAUTIFUL EVENING PETHERIDGE JUKESBURY SUGGESTED AFTER A COGITATION SHE CONCEDED THAT THIS WAS UNDENIABLE WHERE NATURE SMILES AND ONLY THE CONDUCT OF MAN IS VILE AND ALTOGETHER WHAT IT OUGHT NOT TO BE HE CONTINUED WITH UNCTION AH HOW TRUE THAT IS AND HOW CONSOLING
