I shall enjoy being thewife of a famous man. In
that book thathasnt been opened for over twenty-five years? It hadbeen a winter
almost without snow and the ground under her feet wasbare and hard. When she got
Ilses fatletter she was quite sure there was some news of Teddy in it. I told you
people would recognize old Douglas Courcy, interjectedAunt Elizabeth.

Kent Emily did not feelthat she was in the presence
of an unhappy woman.
But over the earth since art had birth, They paint
the angels fair.
Teddy Kent need notsuppose he was the only one who

Emily, old dear,rushing about from one place to
another isnt travelling. I shall enjoy being thewife of a famous man. To the day of
