During our last term at school, Georgia's health was so improved that my life was more free of cares and aglow with fairer promises. Miss Kate Robinson and I were rivals for school honors, and I studied as I never had studied before, for in the history, physiology, and rhetoric classes, she pressed me hard. At the close of the session the record showed a tie.
He was described as "a conscientious, cultured, and conservative man, of great energy, public spirit, and animated by the purest patriotism." He was one of Georgia's most illustrious Chief Magistrates. A county in the state is named after him. George Gilmer. He was also Member of Congress.
She and Georgia too had much to discuss: the work done in Europe, Georgia's work here, how splendid Karl was, what a glorious time they had had, something of the good times they would all have together here, and then this house which Georgia had found for them and into which they had gone at once.
If the poetic strain in the Dunbar Negroes of the south is an inheritance and not "just a gift from On High," Knoxville, Tennessee's aged Negro Poet, born Joseph Leonidas Star, but prominently known in the community as "Lee" Star, Poet, Politician and Lodge Man, thinks that Georgia's poetic genius Paul Lawrence Dunbar, "maybe took his writin' spells" from him.
Georgia's attitude of amused tolerance therefore set the tone for the freshmen's behavior. "Don't you see that it's some sophomore joke?" she demanded. "Might as well let the poor creatures get as much fun out of us as they can, and then perhaps they'll give us something good to eat by and by." "We'll give you something right away," squeaked a ghost. "Georgia Ames and Miss Ashton, stand forth.
Betty had intended to invite Alice Waite and two Winsted men, but there was no reason why she shouldn't ask Georgia, Tom, and the junior president instead. So she went straight to Georgia's room. "All right," said Georgia calmly, when Betty had explained her project. "I was going to stand up with a crowd of freshmen, but they won't care."
They chatted for a little while and after Georgia had hung up the receiver she sat there looking straight into the phone her face as dreamy as Georgia's freckled face well could be. "By Jinks," she was saying to herself "it can be like that!" It was a most opportune time for the paper bag man to telephone.
He urged that it was wise to wait for some overt aggression on the President's part before seceding. He dwelt on the immense advantages the Union had brought to all sections. Georgia's wealth had doubled between 1850 and 1860. "I look upon this country," he said, "with our institutions, as the Eden of the world, the paradise of the universe.
Some of his genial tenderness was lost forever, and the family lived on with the unmentionable name ever before them, like a grave which was never to be filled. The father was away much more the following year. He never drank at home. And, after his death, it was found that he had gambled away many thousands-all of Georgia's part. Thus a father's pride of family met a daughter's impulse.
My wise little sister turned upon me indignantly, assuring me that "God sees everybody and understands everybody's talk." To prove the truth of her statement, she rushed to the kitchen and appealed to grandma, who not only confirmed Georgia's words, but asked me what right I had to believe that God was American only, and could not understand good German people when they read and spoke to Him?
