...showing Harvard to her for there is always plenty to gloat over and to point out pride fully in the Yard. A stranger isn't so quick to notice that some of those glorious trees are now drunkenly askew, propped up like so many old ladies. Strangers are inclined to see only the starched bosom of Widener. And she misses the ugly excavations while dreaming over the calculated simplicity of Memorial Church. Then Vag introduces her to his Yardling friends, Goo-Goo the pigeon and Grumpy the squirrel. They accept her, so she "belongs." Vag is pleased at their approval...

Last week the Bonapartist cause was finally considered so dead, the Pretender so harmless...
...horse has no means of defense these days. I do not think you would like to see your old friends wounded and suffering. . . . The saddest word is goodby.
