I began to picture to myself, as a scrap of newspaper intelligence, my being found dead in a day or two, under some hedge; and I trudged on miserably, though as fast as I could, until I happened to pass a little shop where it was written up that ladies and gentlemens wardrobes were bought, and that the best price was given for rags, bones, and kitchen-stuff. ❋ Unknown (1917)
