This big, bustling Amazon was never known to weep but once, and that was when Lord Nelson died. To show any emotion would have been to reveal a weakness, and a caress would have been proof positive of folly. Life was a stern business and this earth-journey a warfare. She cooked, she swept, she scrubbed, she sewed.

The word philosophy means the love of truth: "philo," love; "soph," truth; or, if you prefer, the love of that which is reasonable and right. Philosophy refers directly to the life of man how shall we live so as to get the most out of this little Earth-Journey! Life is our heritage we all have so much vitality at our disposal what shall we do with it?

That's right. Oh, stay! the boxwood there in the garden was planted by Charlotte's own hands perhaps you would like a sprig of it there, I thought you would! All who write concerning the Brontes dwell on the sadness and the tragedy of their lives. They picture Charlotte's earth-journey as one devoid of happiness, lacking all that sweetens and makes for satisfaction.

In some far-off eon, ere this earth-journey began, some woman looked at me that way once, just as Titian has this woman look, with the same melting eyes and half-parted lips, and it made an impression on my soul that subsequent incarnations have not effaced. I bought the photograph in Venice, at Ongania's, and paid three dollars for it.
