cousin what she called a thoroughly consistent childhood. And then some

immersed in work--facts and higher truth tallied here.
"Karl's queer," she said. "He's roasted a good deal by the academic
folks--pooh-hoos a lot of their stuff, you know. He seems to have a

that if ever any one had the joy of living stunt down pat, she's it.
