Description: He had a mortal dislike, poor Stransom, to lean anniversaries, and loved them still less when they made a pretence of a figure. Celebrations and suppressions were equally painful to him, and but one of the former found a place in his life.  He had kept each year in his own fashion the date of Mary Antrim's death.  It would be more to the point perhaps to say that this occasion kept HIM:  it kept him at least effectually from doing anything else.
