Evidence: | 'I sat up late reading of Mr. Jingle's artifices, until at last I began to speculate drowsily as to that gentleman's proficiency on ski. It seemed that he was arguing fiercely with Mr.Snodgrass on the advantages`of the stem Christiania over the telemark, and I caught fragments such as, "Magnificent feeling-always use it-sharp swing-no bone breaker-good turn-very!" While Mr. Pickwick, clad in gaiters,smiled benignantly in the background.' |
