If there were boarding-houses in paradise Blodgett, the delight of mankind Solomon foresaw her A withering retort A modest, puny poise about her Hidden thoughts derived from Mother Eve and Grecian Helen The feminine council that ruled the Yankee captains Bonds of fraternity, double- riveted and copper-fastened Through the looking-glass Men only of the manliest sort The lady-paramount Hands which were true works of art Retained his dignity without putting it on Sighed heavily over my efforts Unctuous M. Huguenin "From dawn to eve I fell" The multum-in-parvo machine "Beauty and the Beast" Frank Channing "Blood-and water!"
The union of two friends or three, let us say is like Geryon in the pictures: a six-handed, three-headed individual; my private opinion is, that there was not one Geryon, but three Geryons, all acting in concert, as friends should.
