It makes me sick!"
I now saw that I had made a mistake, and began reading a
Magazine, so he went back to his seat and we were as strangers
again. As I was very angry I again opened my window, and he got
a cinder in his eye and had to have the Porter get it out.
He got out soon after, and he had the impertinance to stop
beside me and say:
"I hate to disapoint you, but I find I have a clean coller
in my bag after all." He then smiled at me, although I gave him
no encouragment whatever, and said: "You're sitting up much
better, you know. And if you would take off those heals I'll
venture to say you could _walk_ with any one."
I detested him with feirceness at that time. But since then
I have pondered over what he said. For it is my Nature to be
fair and to consider things from every angel. I therfore said
this to myself.
"If members of the Male Sex can reduce their wastes and
increase their usefulness to their Native Land by camping,
exercising and drilling, why not get up a camp of my own, since
I knew that I would not be alowed to go away to train, owing to
my Familey?"
I am always one to decide quickly.
