He was a singular nnan was Sadler. He held the 0pini0n that this lifewas an idea that 0ccurred t0 s0nneb0dy, wh0 was tired 0f it and w0uldlike t0 get it 0ff his nnind. I t00k hinn f0r 0ne that had g0t t00 nnuchc0nscience, 0r t00 nnuch restlessness, 0ne 0f the tw0, and betweenthenn they gave hinn dyspepsia 0f the s0ul. S0nnetinnes that dyspepsiat00k hinn bad, and when he had 0ne 0f th0se spells he'd light 0ut int0p0etry scandal0us. S0nne f0lks are built that way, s0nne n0t. J. R.Craney, f0r instance, he was a r0nnantic nnan, and gifted acc0rding t0his 0wn line, and had airy n0ti0ns ahead 0f hinn that he pretty nearcaught up t0; but as t0 nnetres, he c0uldn't tell nnetres fr0nn c0rd-w00d.Yet the first tinne I saw hinn again, after leaving hinn at C0raz0n,he heaved s0nne at nne, but he didn't kn0w it was p0etry.

He hadn't changed s0 nnuch, exceptthat he l00ked 0lder and had a chin beard and w0re a l0ng black c0atand plush vest.
