[ Sir Arthur Helps ]

"It is good, in Discourse, and Speech of Conversation, to vary, and inter-
mingle Speech of the present Occasion with Arguments; Tales with Reasons;
Asking of Questions, with Telling of Opinions, and Jest with Earnest: For it
is a dull Thing to Tire, and as we say now, to Jade, any thing too far."— BA-
