Tomkins (he has heard his friend Stodge talk so much about that lovely spot Wobbleswick, whether he was going sketching, that he was induced to accompany him. A day has elapsed, and he's awaking to the heart of the situation!.— “ Seems to me an infern— and I call it rather a dull place!”
Stodge.— “Dull, my Dear Fellow! How can you say so? Look this Beautiful, Breezy Common! And the lines of Old Houses on the Beach, Breaking the Horizon, and the colour! And Jolly Quiet of the place! None of your Beastly Barrel-Organs or Gaping Tourists Swarming about! I thought you'd Like it!!”
