Updated: May 24, 2025

I feel in excellent spirits, and haven't drank a drop so that I hope soon to get out of trouble. Yes, let us clear the typewriter off the table: an ink-well is a sacred thing. Do you ever stop to think, when you see the grimy spattered desks of a public post-office, how many eager or puzzled human hearts have tried, in those dingy little ink-cups, to set themselves right with fortune?
