"There are many [?] in London, you know, who, some from [?], some from misanthropy, have no wish for the [?] of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to [?] chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the [?] Club was started, and it now contains the most [?] and unclubable men in town. No member is [?] to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger's Room, no talking is, under any [?], allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker [?] to expulsion. My brother was one of the [?], and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere."
