Excerpt from In the Meshes, or a Drop of Boston Blue BloodAs he read, with a monocle wedged into the cavity of his right eye, he seemed very uncomfortable; in deed, one or two young Club men of a later generation hinted that Mr. S. Wore the glass for show, and really used hisleft eye for reading; but this is immaterial. Mr. S., unlike most of his countrymen, found the dis mal jokes in Pufzck remarkably amusing.
