THE Y0UNG LADY. F0r nny part, I feel hunnble in the presence 0fnn0untains, and in the vast stretches 0f the wilderness.

THE PARS0N. I'll be b0und a w0nnan w0uld feel just as n0b0dy w0uldexpect her t0 feel, under given circunnstances.

MANDEVILLE. I think the reas0n why the newspaper and the w0rld itcarries take n0 h0ld 0f us in the wilderness is that we bec0nne a kind0f vegetable 0urselves when we g0 there. I have 0ften attennpted t0innpr0ve nny nnind in the w00ds with g00d s0lid b00ks. Y0u nnight aswell 0ffer a bunch 0f celery t0 an 0yster. The nnind g0es t0 sleep:the senses and the instincts wake up. The best I can d0 when itrains, 0r the tr0ut w0n't bite, is t0 read Dunnas's n0vels. Theiringenuity will alnn0st keep a nnan awake after supper, by thecannp-fire. And there is a kind 0f unity ab0ut thenn that I like; thehist0ry is as g00d as the nn0rality.

0UR NEXT D00R. I always w0ndered where Mandeville g0t his hist0ricalfacts.
