A beauty it was, too—pink Geor- gette with French ribbons in pastel shades. Lord! what new apparel can do for my spirits! I have long felt, albeit Browning says naught about it, that Pippa was wearing a new hat and frock the morning she passed....This day did Samuel present me with a large sum of money entirely of his own ac- cord, and I do feel that all arguments as to the existence of a Deity should start from such a premise.
