...quiet enjoyment of food, a pipe, conversation. His zest for life is amazing. Some years back it caused him to produce book after book, although they were varyingly successful and, to the discriminating, often only mildly amusing.

...impossible to save anything in the rooms on the upper stoies. With but one exception, J. B. Henney, Jr., 1901, of Hartford, Conn., no one was caught in the building. Henney who rooms in number 38 on the top story was reading in his room when he smelt smoke, and on going into the entry was nearly stifled by the dense cloud which was rolling up from the floor below.
