Look here, you crazy man--take a reef in your canvas picture of jocund day upon the misty mountain tops--get down to grass roots.

Grant, I can give the concert all right--but, young man, you are selling the soap. That's a great argument you have been making this week, Grant.

No, no, no--Doctor--no, I must not do that. I tell you, man, I must travel light and alone. I must go into life as naked as St. Francis. The world is stirring as with a great spirit of change.

But it's all I have--all the dream I have now. 'All of which I saw, and part of which I was,' yet, he mused,
