"I would have to be well acquainted with her to know, but I should hope so. To make a real home for a tired business man is a very different kind of work from that required to be a leader of society. It demands different talent and education. Of course, she means to change, or she would not have promised to make a home for you. I suspect our dope is cool now, let's go try for some butterflies."
Once it rained blood on our front porch." "Those red drops fall from flocks of butterflies," I said, laughing. "I have seen red showers in Florida."
