’s wife,Stripes Yd, was a decidely agreeable acquaintance. She exhibited her hospitality in bread and treacle, and possessed various works of art. Maggie actually forgot that she had any special cause of sadness this morning, as she stood on a chair to look at a remarkable series of pictures representing the Prodigal Son in the costume of Sir Charles Grandison, except that, as might have been expected from his defective moral character, he had not, like that accomplished hero, the taste and strength of mind to dispense with a wig. But the indefinable weight the dead rabbits had left on her mind caused her to feel more than usual pity for the career of this weak young man, particularly when she looked at the picture where he leaned against a tree with a flaccid appearance,Canada Goose Freestyle Vesta, his knee-breeches unbuttoned and his wig awry,Belstaff Nové Toxic Blouson Bunda, while the swine apparently of some foreign breed, seemed to insult him by their good spirits over their feast of husks.
