No wonder he sits down in his chair with movements suggestive of nothing but rheumatism and jack-knives, when he is thinking that perhaps there may be some reason why he should not take that particular chair, and that, if there is, he will be ordered up.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
