In our consideration of this topic we come first to the night life of / the English. They have none.
Passing along to the next subject under the same heading, which is / the night life of Paris, we find here so much night life, of such / a delightfully transparent and counterfeit character; so much / made-to-measure deviltry; so many members of the Madcaps' Union engaged / on piece-work; so much delicious, hoydenish derring-do, all carefully / stage-managed and expertly timed for the benefit of North and South / American spenders, to the end that the deliriousness shall abate / automatically in exact proportion as the spenders quit spending -- in / short, so much of what is typically Parisian that, really Paris, on its / merits, is entitled to a couple of chapters of its own.
