Excerpt from Green Ladies
Peter John glanced at his cigarette and looked at the scene. His neat and distinguished features were quizzical as he lifted his eyes from the delicate paper tube to the gem-like perfection of the view. His air had a whimsical interrogation.
"Should one," he inquired of his mind, "regard tobacco in this air as an abomination? Could one pretend that it is frankincense on the altar of beauty?"
He stood drawing in the still and scented air in luxuriant breaths.
"No," he decided, "this is a cigarette view, delicate, fragrant, tranquillizing. And also there is no one to contradict me."
He went on smoking his cigarette. It was, after all, a burnt offering to beauty.
Having settled the matter in his mind, he tasted deep again of the scene, his eyes dwelling upon it with the slow, fine rapture of a pundit.
