Cecily's tears had been dropping on the autograph quilt square she was faithfully embroidering. She had been diligently collecting names for it ever since the preceding autumn and had a goodly number; but Kitty Marr had one more and this was certainly a fly in Cecily's ointment.
When he had done his work, he returned the manuscript to Schiller. Goethe could never learn either whence it had come, or whither it went. He always suspected that the autograph original had been sent to the Empress Catherine at St. Petersburg, and that Schiller's manuscript was a copy from that.
The autograph MS. of the "Principia," also in the possession of the Royal Society, gives increased vividness to the picture of this extraordinary person in his study, solving mysterious problems, and suggesting others still more mysterious; and then the lock of silvery hair adds the last touch to fancy's picture like a stroke of the pencil which, when a portrait is nearly complete, gives life and expression to the whole.
The interesting feature of this letter is that it is entirely in the writer's autograph, and bears no mark of having been press copied. I infer that it was written out of office hours, after all the clerks had left the Department, perhaps late at night, while the secretary was taking advantage of the stillness of the hour to examine papers and plans.

Great jealousy is shown among the men as to their visitors and many word wars ensue after the visitors leave. When a man is sent to a convalescent home, he generally turns over his steady visitor to the man in the next bed. Most visitors have autograph albums and bore Tommy to death by asking him to write the particulars of his wounding in same.
I told Lawrence so directly after call-over." The Caterpillar pulled down his cuffs. "If you didn't mean to be funny," he concluded, "you must be an ass." Duff, however, remembered that John was nephew to an explorer. "I say," he jogged John's elbow, "do you think you could get me your uncle's autograph?" "Why, of course," said John. "Thanks.
