have secured fine pipe--the best pipe
in the universe, say-you would not be
more happy than miserable. The whole

fear to put il away lest harm should come
to it in your absence; equally do you
dread taking it up, for there is the risk OF
dropping, scratching, breaking. While
smoking it you cautiously keep on the
