...minutes, with hands on knees, for their photograph. Now, the man of business capacity and of a speculative turn of mind, who will get up a corner in small boys, will make a sufficient fortune to enable him to go to the first night of the Greek play at present prices. The corner could be very easily arranged. Get all the tennis nets in the Society building, and make a long seine of them by tying the ends together.

We are both of us connected with the University; and frequently go to Boston, which is not a university, although it is called the "Hub of the universe." You see from this that we are not Bostonians, nor yet are we New Yorkers, for had we been you would have...
