I hold that they are a social nuisance, and ought to be put down by law. My eldest brother Nick sings really very well,—a charming tenor, you know, good enough to coax the birds off the bushes. He does all that sort of dilettante business,—paints, and reads tremendously about things dead and gone, that can't possibly advantage anybody.

You and father kin put it in your trunk 'cause it's too long for mine, and I can carry father's shirts and things in mine. Git the hammer quick, and I'll help you do it!"

Ted showed up at camp one night just before quitting time. He was waiting for Bob when the latter knocked off and had started homewards.,"Good-by, my—my beloved—cousin," he says, in a choked voice.
