I don't know how the equatorial people do; I have never lived on the equator, and I have no desire to nor in any other place where it is too hot for a fireplace, or where wood is so scarce that one is obliged to substitute a gas-log. I wish I could build an open hearth into every lowly home and give every man who loves out-loud reading a copy of Lamb and sticks enough for a fire.
That face in the greenish glass, looking tiredly back at her! She gave a little out-loud cry of vexation now as she thought of it, two hours later. "I must have looked to Eva like a battered bisque doll no wonder she couldn't place me!" she muttered crossly.
Who would have believed I had seen and done all this, had any such adventurous trip, lived any such significant day, catching my regular 8.35 train as I did! But we get through the dinner and some of the talk and then the out-loud reading before the fire; then while she is tucking the children in bed, I go out to see that all is well about the barn. How the night has deepened since my return!
"Well, then let's hear the rest of him on 'Old China." And so she read, while the fire burned, and outside swept the winter storm. I have a weakness for out-loud reading and Lamb, and a peculiar joy in wood fires when the nights are dark and snowy.
And then I thought out-loud and sez: "I've hearn how laws of eternal right and justice are sot one side in Washington, D.C., as bein' too triflin' to attend to, while the Legislators pondered over and passed laws regardin' hen's eggs and bird's nests. But this is goin' too fur too fur.
