...story particularly attracted me as I had been looking for just the sort of place that Dr. Gehring had. I have checked into the matter and find now that Dr. Gehring had retired from active practice about five years ago and I am wondering if the place he started is continued on the same plan by someone else or if it has been discontinued. Would it be possible for you to secure this information and pass...
...with fire and brimstone, then, as he allowed her to leave, turned, delivered a benediction: "Peace on earth-good will to men!" As her fame spread, there came offers for lecture tours. For some time her objections to the theatre kept her from mounting a stage of any sort. Finally she saw opportunity to gain temperance converts, accepted speaking offers, became rich.

...divided his book into sections, each representing a particular period of poetry, such as Elizabethan, Romantic, and so forth. After, the poetry of the Victorian era he places several selections to which he assigns the term "Eighteen-Eighties and Nineties", and which serve as a sort of prelude to the work of a more modern tone. Since these divisions are presumably purely chronological there should be no objection, but nevertheless there will be readers who will question the propriety of omitting Hardy and Housman from poets of the Twentieth Century, since the work of the former at least is quite...
