Excerpt from Mentone, Cairo, and Corfu
IT is of no consequence why or how we came to Mentone. The vast subject of health and health resorts, of balancings between Torquay and Madeira, Algeria and Sicily, and, in a smaller Sphere, between Cannes, Nice, Mentone, and San Remo, may as well be left at one side while we. Happily imitate the Happy-thought Man's trains in Bradshaw, which never start, but arrive. We therefore arrived. Our party, formed not by selec tion, or even by the survival of the fittest (after the ocean and Channel), but Simply by chance aggregation, was now composed of Mrs. Trescott and her daughter Janet, Professor Mackenzie, Miss Graves, the two youths Inness and Baker, my niece, and myself, myself being Jane J efierson, aged fifty, and my niece Margaret Sev erin, aged twenty-eight.
AS I said above, we were an aggregation. The Tres cotts had started alone, but had accumulated (so Mrs. Trescott informed me) the Professor. The Pro fessor had started alone, and had accumulated the Trescotts. Inness and Baker had started singly, but had first accumulated each other, and then ourselves; while Margaret and I, having accumulated Miss Graves.
