Excerpt

The gentlemen led their partners to their various chaperones, and then crowded out upon the balcony to enjoy the cool spring breeze, giving no attention to the remonstrances of their host, the President, who, when he found how little heed was paid to his warning against imprudence, turned away, declaring to his friend the colonel that there really was nothing to be done with the heedless young people of the present day. “They trifle with their health as if their nerves were of iron and illness impossible,” he added, a little out of humour, perhaps, at the neglect of his advice.
