Pride Far less than he had two or three years ago.
Facial beauty More than adequate.
Subrisivity Phenomenal.
Oratory Admirable, but too fond of telling the
same story.
Popularity Could not be greater.
HAIR-CUTTING AND DENTISTRY.
I am going to get my hair cut. But I must first mention the matter to my wife.
Why do I do this? It is not because I am a coward, for there are few men who are in reality braver than I am. I carried my firstborn in my arms round the drawing-room when she was a week old, and I have done other things equally brave, the enumeration of which I spare you. But I could no more think of getting my hair cut without previously informing my wife than I could think of wearing a top hat in the Strand.
