They hauled us to the engine station four miles beyond, where another locomotive engine was attached to the train, and we went on by steam and at a fearful rate of speed." Mrs.Wright, being weary after the day's work, went to bed early and, at his request, I sat with the Senator by the fire for an hour or so.

I have always thought it a lucky circumstance, for he asked me to tell of my plans and gave me advice and encouragement which have had a marked effect upon my career.
I remember telling him that I wished to be a lawyer and my reasons for it.

He told me that a lawyer was either a pest or a servant of justice and that his chief aim should be the promotion of peace and good will in his community.

He promised to try and arrange for my accommodation in his office in the autumn and meanwhile to lend me some books to read while I was at home.
"Before we go to bed let us have a settlement," said the Senator.

"Will you kindly sit down at the table there and make up a statement of all the time you have given me ?" I made out the statement very neatly and carefully and put it in his hands.
"That is well done," said he.
