One day when I was there cleaning, he said, 'Grammer, you've a large brain a very large organ of brain, he said. 'A woman's is usually four ounces less than a man's; but yours is man's size. Well, then hee, hee! after he'd flattered me a bit like that, he said he'd give me ten pounds to have me as a natomy after my death.

And he told me that no man's hands could help what they did, any more than the hands of a clock....Yes, he's a man of strange meditations, and his eyes seem to see as far as the north star."
