She told me that poor Lefty had never had enough good music and it was a dreadful appreciate it so much better than l can she said over and over.
 Tt was the same way when we at tended the theatre. She kept saying: If dear Lefty were only here, how she would enjoy it I feel ashamed to think that I'm having so much pleasure that poor Lefty is denied

 q mean that a little rational sell fishness In others helps a lot. l should like Cousin Sarah much better if she were willing to think oi her self part of the time. at least l have discovered that extreme unselfshness can be quite as trying, if not more so than extreme selfishness l never want to have another guest as un- selfish as Cousin Sarah"
 Well, I can't see why that trait should ever be disagreeable
 If my Cousin Sarah should ever visit at your home you would speedily be enlightened. You see. realize what a dull time she had living all the year round in such a quiet village as Busyville so I determined to take her to see everything that l thought would interest her.

Later on every picture that she particularly liked threw her into deeper condition of gloom be- cause William wasn't there to see it. He's so fond of paintings. and he knows so much about art she said, that it seems a shame for me to be looking at all these beautiful things instead of him.
