Daily Dose

From The Hand of Ethelberta, a Comedy in Chapters, by Thomas Hardy

SEPARATE

"Separate and distinct from overt existence under the sun, this life could hardly be without its distinctive pleasures, all of them being more or less pervaded by thrills and titilations from games of hazard, and the perpetual risk of sensational surprises."

From Chapter XXIX, Ethelberta's Dressing-Room -- Mr. Doncastle's House
