REGRETS.
"To wish is folly, to regret absurd."
That I went out in my new hat and light summer clothes, and did not take my umbrella the only day within the last fortnight when there was an hour's rain.
That I had already accepted an invitation when one to a party that would have been infinitely more pleasant all round subsequently arrived.
That I took that champagne last night, and some other things.
That I left off my winter "things" before summer had set in.
That I returned to my winter "things" just when summer weather did set in.
That I went out to supper and supped heartily.
That I didn't have that tooth out when it first pained me.
That my dentist should take a four days' holiday just when I wanted him badly.
