it is usually revealed by the arrival of

nothing for it but guessing, which is not
the fault of the crow, but of the absurd

SOMEBODY frets; that is, makes mor or

every one in the room, or on the stage,

probably nobody can help. Why say
anything about itP 1t is cold, it is wet,
it is dry; somebody has broken an ap.
pointment, i'll cooked a meal; stupidity
or bad faith somewhere has resulted in
discomfort. There are always plenty OF
things to fret abont. 1t is simply as,
tonishing how much annoyance and
discomfort may be found in the course
of every days living, even at the sim.
plest, if one only keeps a sharp eye on
that side of things. Even Holy Writ
says we are born to trouble as the spark:
