Excerpt from The Lorgnette, or Studies of the Town, Vol. 2
Newport, or to the sulphury mountain air of Sharon. The town-ladies will find an old seven-league boot set upon my heel, which will make me as untiring in the chase of their charms, and perhaps as roman tic in my adventure, as the Knight of La Mancha upon his raw-boned Resinante.
