Excerpt from Queechy
A single cloud on a sunny day When all the rest of heaven is clear, A frown upon the atmosphere, That hath no business to appear, When skies are blue and earth is gay. Byron.
Come, dear grandpa - the old mare and the wagon are at the gate - all ready.
Well, dear - responded a cheerful hearty voice, they must wait a bit; I haven' t got my hat yet.
