Hearn's gravest faults. While courtly, polished, and refined in externals, he lacked in tact and nicety of discrimination. He often said things which a finer-fibred but much worse man would never have said. He had an abundance of intellect, great shrewdness, vast will force, and organizing power, but not much ideality or imagination.
Such stores as McCreery's, Lord & Taylor's, O'Neill's, Macy's, Simpson, Crawford & Simpson's, Hearn's, Altman's, Koch's, Kaughran's, Ehrich's, Denning's, Stern's and Le Boutillier's are examples.
He was much better looking than his wife, and it was this, perhaps, that made her jealous if he looked at another woman. The particular object of her jealousy was a Miss Manson, who held a business position at an uptown milliner's. She was pleasant and piquant. There was also a Mr. Kimball, who was a salesman at Hearn's.
Hearn's, I went to my room and rested till dinner, and I slept away the afternoon as on the previous day. My plan was now to get sufficiently strong to take my departure by the following Monday, and I was glad indeed that the tonic of out-of-door air promised an escape from a position in which I must continually seem to be what I was not a cheerful man in the flood tide of convalescence.
I found this in one of Lafcadio Hearn's letters the other day I marked the passage for you Baudelaire has a touching poem about an albatross, which you would like describing the poet's soul superb in its own free azure but helpless, insulted, ugly, clumsy when striving to walk on common earth or rather, on a deck, where sailors torment it with tobacco pipes, etc.
Exactly at twelve o'clock there was a little supper, which, no doubt, served to relieve Mrs Hearn's ennui, and at which Mrs Boyce also seemed to enjoy herself. As to the Mrs Boyces on such occasions, I profess that I feel no pity. They are generally happy in their children's happiness, or if not, they ought to be.
Adah sat there frequently also; sometimes she read to the children fairy stories, of which Adela, Mr. Hearn's little girl, had brought a great store, and she seemed to enjoy them quite as much as her eager-eyed listeners; but more often she superintended their doll dressmaking, over which there were the most animated discussions.
"Yes, they wear shocking bad clothes, don't they, directly they get out of kimonos; and even the kimonos look dingy and dirty." "They are." said Reggie. "Yours would be, if you had to keep a wife and eight children on thirty shillings a month." Then he added: "The second stage in the observer's progress is Discovery. Have you read Lafcadio Hearn's books about Japan?"
Hearn's thousands. But your mother judges me leniently. To tell you the honest truth, I've come lately to have a very poor opinion of myself. I feel that I would have been a much better man if, in past years, I had seen more of such people as dwell in this house." "Thee remembers what father said to thee," she replied, shyly, with downcast eyes; "this is thy home hereafter."
"There is a deep knife-wound above the heart, which must have caused death almost instantaneously." "How long should you say he has been dead, Doctor?" asked the sergeant. "Twelve hours at least," was the reply. "He is quite cold and stiff." + Position of body. D D D, Tracks of Hearn's shoes. A, Top of Shepherd's Path. E, Tracks of the nailed shoes.
