"He needn't advertise the fact, then," retorted Sara, unappeased. "We all get our share of ill-luck. Garth behaves as if he had the monopoly."

When the world grows too loud one may withdraw from it; there are still uncrowded spaces where existence marches simply. Remembering them, Mr.
The soup strengthened and quieted Herrick's nerves; another glass of wine, and a piece of pickled pork and fried banana completed what the soup began; and he was able once more to look the captain in the face. "I didn't know I was so much run down," he said. "Well," said Davis, "you were as steady as a rock all day: now you've had a little lunch, you'll be as steady as a rock again."
'I could have done with a ream when I got started; but it's long enough for all the good I had to say. They were still at the addresses when the clerk strolled up, smirking and twirling his envelope, like a man well pleased. He looked over Herrick's shoulder. 'Hullo, he said, 'you ain't writing 'ome. 'I am, though, said Herrick; 'she lives with my father. Oh, I see what you mean, he added.
"Victor says it's not too late but well, perhaps. I'm out of the way of cities, and I've enough so that I don't have to do anything, but oh, I would love to be at it again!" Hard smiled.
