“Thus it seemed that this one hillside illustrated the principle of all the operations of Nature. The Maker of this earth but patented a leaf. What Champollion will decipher this hieroglyphic for us, that we may turn over a new leaf at last?”

“The shutters were drawn and the undertaker wiped his feet—
He was aware that this sort of thing had occurred before.”
