Durrett's wildest dreams." She shook her head complacently. "Do you know what I told him when he married me? I said, 'Adolf, it is a pity you are born in Germany. And when he asked me why, I told him that some day he might have been President of the United States." "Well, that won't be a great deprivation to him," I remarked. "Mr. Scherer can do what he wants, and the President cannot."
He's so ridiculously proud of being on the board of the Children's Hospital.... You ought to hear him talking to old Mrs. Ogilvy, who of course can't get used to him at all, she always has the air of inquiring what he's doing in that galley. She still thinks of him as Mr. Durrett's foreman." The time flew.
The stronghold of Scotch Presbyterianism had become a London or a Paris, a Gomorrah! Mrs. Hambleton Durrett went her way, and Mr. Durrett his. The less said about Mr. Durrett's way even in this suddenly advanced age the better. As for Nancy, she seemed to the distant eye to be walking through life in a stately and triumphant manner.

I am thirty, you know."

Durrett's, I was concerned as to what would happen to us if those twin gods, the Tariff and Prosperity, should take their departure from the land. Knowing my love for the good things of the table, my father intimated, with a rare humour I failed to appreciate, that we should have to live henceforth in spartan simplicity.
Then the flotilla of clumsy flatboats, manned by tall riflemen, rowed and drifted cautiously down the Ohio between the melancholy and unbroken reaches of Indian-haunted forest. The presence of the families shows that even this expedition had the usual peculiar western character of being undertaken half for conquest, half for settlement. Durrett's library at Louisville.
