man had signed a mortgage eliminated
all need for a note. 1t never occurred
to me that a mortgage without some
thing to show a consideration was no
mortgage and not worth the paper it
was written on.

had expressed himself in the most
glowing terms upon my gigantic and
monumental ignorance that ] deter
