Mr. White, it is very much too late now; but why, when you returned to England, didn’t you wear uncomfortable clothes like other gentlemen, and a very high collar, and varnished boots, like other gentlemen?
Valentine White.
Why? Because I cannot be false to my principles.
Imogen.
People say that principles which deal too much with the outside of things are nothing but affectations.
Valentine White.
