7/21 Came last night; and between you and me, Judge, I took a little too much. Makes my head feel like a tub. He and his wife ain't congenial, besides she's lost her money that Frank married her for. Serves him right for being so mean to Mrs.Markham, and I told him so when he opened his heart clear to the breast-bone and told me all about it; how his mother broke it up about the time you were down there; and, Markham, you don't mind my telling you, as an old friend, how he said she went to the altar with a heavier heart than she would have carried to her coffin. |
