Mr. Duncan, the
doctor, and J. B. L. are indefatigable in their efforts to make us comfortable
and happy. We see them every day and, to be more explicit, almost every hour in
the day. We call ourselves "The Happy Family." If you ask me
wherefore, I can only say, probably because we have so much reason to be
unhappy, and yet are not—exactly.
