He is seen lying upon the floor habitually, and when not playing with cats the only boyish fondness told of him reading Shakspere, Milton, Thomson, the books of the household, not uncommon in New England homes, where good books were as plenty then as all books are now; and on Sundays, at his grandmother Hathorne's, across the yard, he would crouch hour after hour over Bunyan's "Pilgrim's Progress," that refuge of boyhood on the oldtime Sabbaths.
In the meantime I will see you, and hope to enjoy with you many hours of conversation after the oldtime way at our house. As ever, Your student brother, Explanations and Answers to Objections. BROOK FARM, MASS., Dec. 11, 1845.
The subjects about which he speaks with his oldtime directness and charm in this volume make us aware of the serious temper of his mind, of his deep interest in the life of his time and people, and of the easy and natural grace with which he insisted on facing the fact and bringing it to the test of the highest standards.
His eyes were as clear as ever; but their boyishness was all in the past. It was a man who had come striding into the room, that afternoon, and paused beside her tea-table.
