In July, 1881, sitting under the trees, Miss Anthony and I read and discussed Wendell Phillips' magnificent speech before the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Harvard College. This society had often talked of inviting him, but was afraid of his radical utterances.
She wheeled about and pointed at the other side of the alcove, where stood the metal box, sullen, defiant, secure. "By Jove, that's so, tool Why, I'd all but forgotten that! You're a brick, Beta!
