Explore "At Love's Cost" by Charles Garvice on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Stafford slept well, and was awake before Measom came to call him. It was a warm and lovely morning, and Stafford's first thoughts flew to a bath. He got into flannels, and found his way to the lake, and as he expected, there was an elaborate and picturesque bathing-shed beside the Swiss-looking boat-house, in which were an electric launch and boats of all descriptions. There also was a boatman in attendance, with huge towels on his arm.
"Did you expect me?" asked Stafford, as the man touched his hat and opened the bathing-shed.
