chauffeur graham has graduated. he is now doctor graham. isn't that lovely! just like a story book! uncle theodore and i went up to see him take his degree. my! wasn't he fine looking! tall, beautiful figure, and, as i said before, a handsome face. uncle theodore is quite interested in him, as well as grandmother.

on the evening of the day on which he received his degree, he overtook me as i was walking through the park, and told me that he had noticed me in the audience.

he says he is going to put in a year's practice in the hospital before going to china. i was glad to hear that; it would seem rather lonesome in this big america without him, i really believe.

poor cousin ned is standing behind a counter downtown, selling tacks and shingle nails. he had to give up his studies on account of his eyes—the one eye could not stand the strain. unluckily about that time his father lost his money in some speculation, and there was nothing for it but poor ned must go to work.
