I liked this proposition very well; for the rate of interest which
he offered me, would pay my daily expenses, and I could select some
lots, either from his city or from Mr. Worhoss's, at my leisure.
But I felt a little delicate about receiving collateral security,
from a gentleman of Mr. Dooitt's wealth, and liberal feelings; so I
told him if he would give me his own note, and name in it the rate
of interest which he proposed to pay me, to guard against
accidents, I would not require the collaterals.
How nicely it is filled, how smooth and white on its surface: it
looks like a piece of alabaster inserted in a crystal. How fine and
spotless! look, it scarce touches the steak before it is dissolved;
not a particle of it will grate against your teeth, but its
delicate flavor will gratify your palate without your being at all
aware that you owe an exquisite enjoyment to so common an article
as salt. See, the little heap on the side of your plate looks like
a snow flake just fallen."
