And as for enjoy- ing more liberties than we do, we can go to the ends of the earth without you, and the only place we are compelled to draw the line is with man. I have always thought that being a man was sort of a magic armor which brings you all safely through war, love, or what ever hazardous thing you attempt, but oftenest unbesmirched through the miriest of places, but I had never thought of man as the acme of a perfect dis- position Thanks for your enlightenment.
