WHO IS not a little of an epicure ? Epicu- 

 rism and idleness the love of those pas- 

 times often called idle are the least of the seven 

 mortal sins ; as to the others I will say nothing, 

 being averse to dealing in scandal. A little glut- 

 tony as regards fruits is so natural ! As to myself, 

 I cannot honestly deny, and therefore frankly 

 confess, that I sympathize with our mother Eve.
