...myself early to study you. My comprehension was slow and resisted. Few members of the Faculty have voted against you more times than I. But sympathy was growing through the years when our radical difference of temper was becoming plain. Smoothly and with no violent change I passed through distrust, tolerance, respect, admiration, liking, into the hearty friendship--I might say the love--which makes it a delight to work with you now, whether in opposition or alliance, Probably we shall always approach subjects from opposite sides.

Beneath the burden runs a hysterically bitter ground-bass-a dirge for everything Puritan-and snarling discords to the effect that constipation was the pioneers' curse; that their children were rickety, their politics poltroonish, their women spavined, their teeth acid, their minds (including the author's) stunted and deranged, all because they failed to raise cabbages and take lime into their systems...
