Orson Vane dropped, as if it had been a mask, the ironical smile his lips had worn. You want sincerity, he said, well, then I shall be sincere. Sincerity makes wrinkles, but it is the privilege of our friends to make us old before our time. Sincerely, then, Luke, I am very, very tired. A fashionable imitation, mocked Moncreith. No; a personal aversion, to myself, to the world I live in. I wish the dear old governor hadn't been such a fine fellow; if he had been of the newer generation of fathers I suppose I wouldn't have had an ideal to bless myself with. Moncreith interrupted. Good Lord, Luke, did you say ideals? I swear I never knew it was as bad as that. He beckoned to the waiter and ordered a Dominican. It is so ideal a liquor that when you have tasted it you crave only for brutalities. Poor Orson! Ideals! He sighed elaborately. If you imitate my manner of a while ago, I shall not say what I was going to say. If I am to be sincere, so must you.
