COMMUTER'S WIFE 73 



This is why the living-rooms at the stable have 

 remained unoccupied and why I prefer that they 

 shall be so unless, well, unless Crumpled Tim takes a 

 bride. 



Yes, I know, I suppose that I shall yet be disap- 

 pointed in Tim after all these years, and that his 

 queer nubby feet will prove to be cloven. But if 

 Sisyphus was so persistent in rolling a stone up hill, 

 why shouldn't we be equally patient in keeping our 

 opinion of human nature on the up grade ?
