There too the perspective was nearly empty, so empty that he singled out, a dozen blocks away, the blazing lamps of a large touring-car that was bearing furiously down the avenue from Morningside. As it drew nearer its speed slackened, and he saw it hug the curb and stop at his door.
"Gods," she said, at last, "I've done it this time!" "Well!" She took up the neat morocco purse, opened it, and examined the contents. It contained three sovereigns, six and fourpence, two postage stamps, a small key, and her aunt's return half ticket to Morningside Park. Part 5 After the interview Ann Veronica considered herself formally cut off from home.

One has a sense of having strayed unwittingly into the midst of a miniature planetary system in full swing, with the boom of the trolleys, in their mazy courses, to represent the music of the spheres. Richard Hovey in his book of poems entitled Along the Trail: Look, how the overhead train at the Morningside curve Loops like a sea-born dragon its sinuous flight.
He made splendid teams when he coached at Columbia, while his subsequent record with the Rutgers Eleven attracted wide attention. In the Columbia Alumni News of October, 1915, Albert W.
