They are sending you translations from the Italian papers, and clippings in English, and copies of some of the notes she's had from the more important musical people, and I really can't add anything to that side of it.
Stanton had just given up the strenuous life of a Lyceum lecturer and welcomed work that would keep her at home. Susan, who had managed to save $4,500 out of her lecture fees, felt she could afford to devote at least a year to the history.

"I would have done it," said Jerry. Jerry raked up the grass clippings before he took the box of raisins in to his mother. "Where's Cathy?" he asked. "I think she's down looking at TV." Jerry ran down to the recreation room. The TV had been turned off. Cathy was standing close to Pedro's cage. "Cathy. Cathy. Cathy," she repeated. "Say Cathy." Jerry was indignant.
I find they are the only suggestion of me that the Colonel will allow in the house. I tried another letter this week, but it came back unopened. Uncle Noah, give Mother "A Merry Christmas" for me.

"Oh, mercy," ejaculated Mrs. Heeny; and as if to cut the conversation short she stooped over, creaking like a ship, and thrust her plump strong hand into the bag.
