'I have: and troubles too, she said. 'Oh, I'll turn the talk on my landlord's family! I thought to myself. 'A good subject to start!

They are a mine of wisdom, of vast extent and unknown depth, whose treasures lie chiefly beneath the surface, imbedded in the solid rock which must be entered with mining implements, explored with strong lights, and its wealth brought up by severe toil and sweat.
