The memory of man, even that of the oldest inhabitant runneth not back to the time when there did not exist a feud between the North End and the South End boys of Rivermouth. Copyright, 1869, 1877, by Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
Physically, it was a carpenter's box, of a sort which is readily imagined by the Anglo-American genius for ugliness, but which it is not so easy to impart a just conception of. On one side of us were the open fields; on the other a brief line of neighbor-houses; across the street before us was a grove of stately oaks, which I never could persuade Aldrich had painted leaves on them in the fall.
In prose, too, Aldrich wrote attractively, but always rather with the air of a dilettante, and without the depth and passion of genius. Stedman also possessed wit and polish, though in less degree, and the verse of both these men is delightful reading. More recent still has been the death of a man whose verse ranks with that of either Stedman or Aldrich Richard Watson Gilder.
And, indeed, at a third attempt she found him. When the telephone girl switched her to the information desk, and the information clerk said, "Mr. Rodney Aldrich? Just a moment," and then; "Mr. Aldrich is in fifteen naught five," the dry contraction in her throat made it impossible for her to speak.
How glad they will be, like those who came over in previous ships, to sight that fantomish, white strip of Yankee land called Sandy Hook! It is thinking of them that I write. Copyright, 1883, by Thomas Bailey Aldrich.
The amazing rise in power and popularity of Roosevelt during the decade, the surging unrest of Labor throughout the world, the obviously altered conditions which immense fortunes and the amassing of wealth by a few corporations had produced, and such special symptoms as the chafing at the Payne Aldrich Tariff, the defeat of Speaker Cannon, and the election of a Democratic House of Representatives ought to have warned even the dullest Republican.

Aldrich was expatiating to the boys upon the roughness of the trip. "Why, of course I will! You don't need to ask," replied Estelle affectionately. "You and Edith have been taking your meals with the children during my absence. Please keep on doing it. Let us all be one family for the rest of our stay." "It is lovely of you to want us, Mrs. Thayne," said Estelle, her face flushing.
He was always rather aggressively indifferent about dress, and at a very early date in our acquaintance Aldrich and I attempted his reform by clubbing to buy him a cravat. But he would not put away his stiff little black bow, and until he imagined the suit of white serge, he wore always a suit of black serge, truly deplorable in the cut of the sagging frock.
"I only meant I didn't believe it was the Rodney Aldrich who's so awfully prominent; either somebody else who happened to have the same name, or somebody who just said that was his name." "What's the matter with the prominent one?" Rose wanted to know. "Why couldn't it have been him?" Portia admitted that it could, so far as that went, but insisted on an inherent improbability.
