New York Weekly, v. XXIV, no. 39, August 12, 1869 (Issue) |
| Author: |
Doesticks, Q. K. Philander, 1831-1875
|
| Date: |
August 12, 1869 |
| First Sentence: |
I suppose it is natural enough for people not to want to be eaten up alive-or to be roasted alive or be broiled alive-or be stewed alive, or, in fact, to be cooked alive after any fashion, either of French, or any other cookery-and yet, any, or all of these fates are liable to befall a person who remains during the summer in a city boarding-house. |
| Last Sentence: |
Peleg, the driver, also told us that this is the way all country folks keep city boarders, and I found from him a new affirmation of the fact I had always believed to be true, that the only way to enjoy country luxuries, is to stay in the city and buy 'em. |
