the Library Auditorium would not
prove to be a large one; for in my
disorganized condition l did not feel
capable of projecting my voice even
into the shadows, to say nothing of

library that was devoted rather to
good literature than to architectural
splendor. Their books were housed
in an ordinary shop, or store. 1t was
deep, narrow, and bookishly cozy,
and at the far end of it, seated at
generously large table, engaged in

Her knitting fell to the floor.
@Why-Mr. Bangs!' she replied,
with a gasp almost equal to my
own. II am very glad indeed to
see you; but what are you doing
here?"
"I-I've come to lecture" I said
weakly, almost pleadingly.
