...feet and ghostly shrieks of Mrs. Wiswall No. I, who disappeared so mysteriously, to be suddenly replaced by Mrs. Wiswall No. 2, thereby throwing a dark cloud of suspicion over the respectable character of Mr. Wiswall. He filled my soul with envy as he told of his Commons in Harvard Hall during those palmy days - alas! now gone by - when the bread of the College baker was renowned throughout all Cambridge; and I mournfully thought of my Commons, where the bread has only a local fame, and is not eagerly sought after.
