" "Oh, one may, if one wishes, find insult at every step,- from insolent Stares to mortal Assault, an Orgy of Insult uninterrupted,-yet how does one proceed to call out ach offender in turn, or choose among'em, and in obedience to what code? So, one soon understands it, as yet another Term in the Contract between the city and oneself,- a function of simple Destiny, ensuring that there never be time enough to acknowledge, let alone to resent, such a mad Variety of offer'd Offense.""
