N 2 180 LOVE IX IDLENESS Incident Number Two was the arrival of a new member of the household, fresh from England, another young man committed by his parents to Mr. Whitworth's guardianship. The new- comer was a fat and freckled youth, got up in full tourist costume — in knickerbockers, ' patent ventilating hat,' andpuqgaree — with guide-book and field-glass strapped to his back, and fitted travelling-bag — containing all requisites, from razors to shave his ungrown beard to Eussia leatlier blo...tting-case and silver-topped toilet bottles — in his hand. He came with a huge new trunk, containing a complete outfit for the tropics, as recommended by a fiishionable West End establishment ; he came primed witli information about Florida, its climate, soil, productions, and prospects ; he also came pro- vided with precautionary and defensive appli- ances — a Colt's revolver, a small pharmaco- poeia in a medicine-chest, and a quart bottle GOOD-NIGHT AND GOOD-BYE ! 181 of quinine. Being an unsopliisticated youth, he in an unwary moment confided to his new comrades in the smoking-room that his mother had instructed him to take a daily dose of quinine for the first forty days, and carefully to avoid being out-of-doors at sunset.
