There is not a thought in my mind that you shall not know bad, good, and indifferent if you care to turn out the rag-bag.

She had been regretting the wane of a pleasant evening, but she had thought there was a half-hour more. Oh, the half-hours, the minutes of the world; what miseries and griefs are crowded into them!
