Blush
Blush
One man in particular, though he wore only trunks, deliberately stood in full view of a carriage with ladies in it and stared at the party. It was with difficulty that one of the gentlemen in the trap was restrained from getting out and there and then giving the chap a good hiding. The occasion would have been opportune to make his naked skin smart and raise artificially the blush of which he seems to have been born devoid.
It is obvious that unless some better regulations for the costume of bathers in Sunday Hole can be made and insisted upon, swimming there will have to be prohibited within certain hours, for the locality is in full view of a considerable traffic across the adjacent ford.”
