“He was so eager to be approved, so girlishly anxious to be

“Harriet Beecher Stow [dismissed by Hawthorne as one of
“those damned female scribblers”]. . . was a near  neighbor
of  ours in Hartford, with no fences between. . . Her mind
had  decayed, and she was a pathetic figure.
 
She wandered about all the day long in the care of a  muscular
Irish woman.  Among the colonists of our neighborhood  the

Mrs. Stowe entered them at her own free will,  and as she was
always softly slippered and  generally full of  animal spirits,
she was able to deal in surprises, and she liked to do it.
 
She would slip up behind a person who was deep in dreams and
musings and fetch a war whoop that would jump that person out
of his  clothes.”

and I never could seem to get a chance to work them in in a way
that would look sufficiently casual.” )
