He wanted to see the Yosemite Valley before he died, he said, and June was the time to see it. So he started off with Charles about ten days ago, and the house seems like a tomb without him. I might have known I should, for I haven't about me a single quality which would entitle me to be a Vassar, unless it is my fondness for _gum_. |
