However, I ventured to send the following missive:-- My dear Miss Dodge, otherwise Gail Hamilton: A book is in prospect. Many of our well-known literary people are to writove with me; for although a stranger to you, save through your writings, I rejoice every day in your existence. Please send an early answer. Yours, etc., Fanny Fern. In a few days I received the following reply:-- My dear Mrs. Fern: The coolness of you New Yorkers is astonishing.

these Commencement orations, I said. Then I will write them, responded Mrs. Howe, firmly. They will not deliver them, I said. Then I will deliver them, she replied; and so, in some cases, she practically did. She and I presided, dividing between us the two parts of Professor Goodwin's Oxford gown for our official adornment, to enforce the dignity of the occasion, and the Societas Urbanoruralis, or Town and Country Club, proved equal to the occasion. An essay on rhinosophy was given by Fanny Fern (Mrs. Parton), which was illustrated on the blackboard by this equation, written slowly by Mrs. Howe and read impressively:-- Nose + nose + nose = proboscis Nose — nose — nose = snub. She also sang a song occasionally, and once called up a class for recitations from Mother Goose in six different languages; Professor Goodwin beginning with a Greek version of The man in the Moon, and another Harvard man (now Dr. Gorham Bacon) following up with Heu! iter didilum Felis cum fidulum Vac

ud and yet trustful temperament. Furthermore, Parton was absolutely enthralled in a similar way through his chief object of literary interest, perhaps as being the man in the world most unlike him, Voltaire. On the other hand, no one could be more devoted to self-sacrifice than Parton when it became clear and needful. Day after day one would see him driving in the roads around Newport, with his palsy-stricken and helpless wife, ten years older than himself and best known to the world as Fanny Fern,--he sitting upright as a flagstaff and looking forward in deep absorption, settling some Voltairean problem a hundred years older than his own domestic sorrow. I find in my diary (June 25, 1871) only this reference to one of the disappointing visitors at Newport:-- Bret Harte is always simple and modest. He is terribly tired of The Heathen Chinee, and almost annoyed at its popularity when better things of his have been less liked --the usual experience of authors. I find again,

(A shake of the head.) Four cents? (Another shake.) Sixpence? (I was getting excited.) It's no use, Ma'am, said the persistent old fellow. It's the only number I could get, and I tell you that nobody shall have that Tribune till I have read it myself!
