To the Man who Asks "Is it Warm Enough for you?"
Anywhere in the heated Season Sir:—Perhaps the first time you made this query, your victim simulated faint mirth and thus you were encouraged to go on with what you doubtless intend for humour. Pray allow me to say that it is not.
The man who would take advantage of his superior strength to fling such a remark in the face of a heat-tortured sani would be callous enough to lean out over the pavapats of Heaven and urge the demons in the pit below to turn on the steam heat.
OF course you don't know how exasperating your remark is to one who has been trying to forget the weather, you really believe this is a proper opening for a June-July conversation. Because I believe that you sin in_ thoughtlessness rather than in malice I warn you that should ask me this some hot day when my temper is simmering away round the boiling point, I shall retort: "Yes, quite, and I'm now going to make it altogether too kot for you." You will not enjoy the method, any more than I do your question.
Resentiully yours, A May Wuo Feers tae Hear.
