...done. We do not lay much stress upon the danger that any one may tumble down stairs and break his neck; but, from personal experience, we know that it is very exasperating to come down with a thump and a bite of the tongue, when we have miscalculated the number of steps. The possibility that one may be brought up full against the wall, or dashed down a few steps into the stomach of another wayfarer, makes locomotion in the winding halls of Matthews not a little exciting...
...Magenta, some such remark as "Yale papers please copy"; or, "Courant and Record, here is an example which you will do well to follow."
