A few passages from her letters home are illuminative of these college years. Here are some snap-shots of her fellow students: "I never knew before that there were so many kinds of people in the world girls, I mean. All parts of the country are represented, and I suppose I shall always judge different cities and states by the girls they send here.
You see a man doing nothing but loafing around making snap-shots, and you know right away he reads up well in 'Bradstreet. You notice these old millionaire boys soon as they get through taking everything else in sight they go to taking photographs. People are more impressed by a kodak than they are by a title or a four-carat scarf-pin."
They waded and tramped through the meadow to its farther side, where they entered a wooded swamp. Here they started up a deer, at which Ned took two snap-shots as the creature ran away. They traveled in the swamp for an hour, when they came to another meadow, on the farther side of which two deer were feeding.
Thurston hoped they would all be there in the morning when the sun came up, so that he could get a picture. "Aw, they'll be miles away by then," Bob assured him unfeelingly. "By the signs, you can take snap-shots by lightning in another hour. Got your slicker, Bud?" Thurston said he hadn't, and Bob shook his head prophetically.
I want some of your sketches enlarged to double-page drawings, and I am thinking of issuing a photographic album of the snap-shots you took on the frontier." "That's not a bad idea. I'll come in to-morrow." "I'll expect you, then. You haven't a studio at present?" "No." "Well, I can give you a room on the premises to work in. By the bye, there is a letter for you at the office.
"Never saw the outlaws," Ned answered, "so I can't decide the question. Still, I doubt if one of the counterfeiters is within fifty miles of this spot now." "That's the idea!" Frank said. "Of course the shooting of last night would draw out the natives. There'll be dozens around the caves to-day." The boys walked on to the canyon, taking snap-shots of everything they saw.
In answer to those snap-shots showing what took place every time a woman climbed a car step, they came back with pictures of the styles of '61, proving that the street-car effect is nothing to what happened to a belle of '61 if she chanced to sit down or get up too suddenly in the hoop-skirt days." They were both laughing now, like a couple of children.
A thriving business would have been done by the reporters if an ocean greyhound had landed the pair at the dock some morning, and snap-shots could have been taken as they crossed the gangway, and wearing apparel described. But hope of such fortune was swept away by the closing paragraph, which stated that Mr. and Mrs.
The day was dull, windless, soundless. The leaves of the cottonwoods drooped, as if they had foretold the doom of Withersteen House and were now ready to die and drop and decay. Never had Jane seen such shade. She pondered on the meaning of the report. Revolver shots had of late cracked from different parts of the grove spies taking snap-shots at Lassiter from a cowardly distance!
With the single I could kill farther, no matter what it was. The single was quicker at short shots snap-shots, as at rabbits darting across a narrow lane; and surer at long shots, as at a hare put out a good way ahead by the dog. For everything but the multiplication of slaughter I liked the single best; I had more of the sense of woodcraft with it.
