This, too, in spite of the fact that the habit of smoking at the same time — a necessary concomitant, as I have shown — makes of the indulgence a "fearful joy" and occa- sionally creates a little business for the insurance companies. But there is scarcely an act of our daily life that does not involve some risk or peril, and the stout bed-reader (and smoker) will not suffer himself to be daunted by a slight acci- dent or so, or even a hurry call from the fire department. Besides, in my former a...rticle, I pointed out some precaution- ary measures which elderly gentlemen (in particular) might take in order to combine the two delicious habits of reading and smoking abed with reasonable safety. I would not have them feel too safe, however, for as stolen pleasures are known to be sweetest, so in this matter the bed-reader's grati- fication is heightened and dulcified by a titillant sense of lurk- ing danger. Indeed, I make no doubt that a spark now and then dropping on the bedclothes, or in the folds of the read- er's nighty, or in his whiskers (should he haply be valanced) A PORT OF AGE 91 and discovered before any great damage is done or profanity released, adds appreciably to the pleasure of the indulgence and is not a thing to be sedulously guarded against.
