...rides a wild horse, is almost killed, like Horace, by the falling branch of a tree, and generally had her nerves strung to so high a pitch of excitement that if a reaction took place after graduation, the consequences must have been dreadful indeed. Likewise did she have her share of other wooing than that of the Muses, and did not take an entirely passive part in the amusement, as is sufficiently shown by the following invitation to a shooting expedition, in which, by the way, she shot several squirrels "on the fly," and performed other remarkable feats of sportsmanship...
