The trouble with me was, I never gave the whole bunch as much thought as I was giving to Beryl King and the more I thought about her, the less satisfaction there was in the thinking.

Some one was sitting on the same flat rock, and I climbed up to the place with more haste than grace, I imagine.
David: "Beryl, I should say, is going to become a great woman of business. She can't quite make me out, and my unwavering severity of manner. Her cross-questioning sometimes is maddening or it might become so, but that with both of us you and me retiring so much into the background she has to lead such a strenuous life and see one after the other the more important clients.
Beryl crossed the room, and with her hands folded tightly together, came to the low bed, on which lay the wreck of a once beautiful woman, and stood for a moment silent and pre-occupied. With a sudden gesture of surrender, she stooped her noble head, as if assuming a yoke, and drew one long deep breath.

"Mother dear, humor my childish whim.
"'I have been having an awful time, he wrote. 'My darling Beryl has been frightfully ill. On Monday night we gave up all hope of her recovery, but at twelve o'clock, when the doctor bid us prepare for the end, the most extraordinary thing happened.
