Tom and I were both athletes, both,

my congratulations on the fact that
she was going to marry Tom. Ever

man who averted such an awful fate.
Only the other day I learned it was

married.

She grieved me to the heart by shut

But the little, dropping figure; the

her brief, happy married life, recalling
all her husbands love, and yet pa

acts of charity came from her slender
resources for those who were poorer
than herself.
