little bonnet, seemed to shine with
clear, spiritual radiance; to hear her

ultimate circle. That was always

Her admiration for the writer made
her try very hard TO appreciate his
fun: and she thought she did SO; yet
mirth seemed always as alien to her
tongue as red rosette pinned upon
her dove-gray shoulder-shawl would
have been to her costume. This in
congruity was felt, doubtless, by an
other Friend. Of even more serious
mind than she, who once said to her
reppovingly:
The verses are harmless, and I
perceive they are intended to be
diverting; but they do not divert me,
Gertrude. and do not think they
really divert thee. Be honest with
myself; II thee read them and did not

them, would thee not consider them

It, cover with a saucer and let 1t stand
