Excerpt: ...seems to be something that I can't recall; and now I think of it, Mrs. Yocomb's account last night was very indefinite." My further musings were interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Yocomb with a steaming bowl that smelt very savory. "Mrs. Yocomb," I cried, "you're always welcome; and that bowl is, too, for I'm hungry as a cub." "Glad to hear it," said Mr. Yocomb's hearty voice from the doorway.

Excerpt: ...seems to be something that I can't recall; and now I think of it, Mrs. Yocomb's account last night was very indefinite." My further musings were interrupted by the entrance of Mrs. Yocomb with a steaming bowl that smelt very savory.

One thing is clear: you are the kindest people I ever heard of. You ought to be put in a museum." "Why, Friend Morton, is it queer that we didn't turn thee out of doors or give thee in charge of the poormaster?" "I certainly am the most fortunate man in the world," I said, laughing. "I had broken myself down and was about to become very ill, and I started off in the dark and never stopped till I reached the shelter of Mrs. Yocomb's wing.
