 tries and tires sympathy as fellowship in a long and 

 indefinite journey. Even those heaven-born twins of

 haughty Ernest, as his late companion in not unnatural 

 dudgeon turns to leave the room. Let us hope that no such 

 stormy ending may attend the conversational stroll which 

 we have taken together through some ten or twenty 

 thousands of miles and over a range of two or three dozen 

 of centuries
