Genius for Lolling

I intend to loll for a day or two after weeks of protracted hard work. How best to loll is a problem. By the way please note I am taking a regular sea-bath. It is doing me a lot of good.

All right about the sea-baths. As for lolling there is no how about it,— one just lolls,— if one has the genius for it. I have, though opportunities are now lacking for showing my genius. But it can’t be taught, nor any process invented — it is just a gift of Nature.
