We had a delightful trip in that thoroughly well- ordered steamer, and regretted that it was accomplished so speedily.

By means of diligence and activity, we managed to hunt out nearly all the old friends.

One was missing, however; he went to his reward, whatever it was, two years ago.

But I found out all about him.

His case helped me to realize how lasting can be the effect of a very trifling occurrence.
