little brother-for who would care know either
of them? Yonder is another, who wears glasses
and Is going to Germany to study medicine. as you
learned from the accidental overhearing OF what
her friends said TO her before they left the ship
The only possible wish with respect to her is that
some more desirable person were in her place
Here is a man close by you who is obviously 50
