...government. No longer are the men watched and spied upon by "stool pigeons." They are treated as men and as such are placed on their honor. The men have risen to their new opportunities. Recently a prisoner escaped and at once a crowd of volunteers offered to go in search of the fugitive. The band, 16 in number, set out in charge of one guard. They were gone all night and had plenty of opportunity to escape, yet the next day, all returned. Afterward one of the party came to Mr. Osborne and said: "Ain't it too bad more...
...shower before entering the pool, so that it is not at all infrequent that swimmers take their wash in the pool instead of in the proper place.

The scene is laid in the old Litchfield Inn, where two London gentlemen arrive one night in search of a fortune, the one disguised as a servant to the other. Aimwell, the master, goes to church, and promptly falls in love with a woman in the congregation. His friend, Archer, finding out that the woman has a fortune, approves, and very soon falls in love with her sister...
