Excerpt from At Wellesley: Legenda for 1896 Ruth had protested vigorously when her little marble Ariadne was used as a prop for drying frogs. She had objected feebly to the use of a newly-cut Brown ing for pressing weeds. But this was before she had been tempted into a course in zoology. After that she became long suffering. She had not lost her head but she understood how easy a matter that would be unless one were well-fortified. At the present stage of her college career Nell was studying comparative anatomy. She was absorbed in the development of the species. How can you spend so much time over those? She asked one day, as a friend boxed a new butterfly and swung her net over her shoulder. They are interesting, I suppose, but they are so small. Now I like the higher animals they are nearer to Man. Oh, I love Man! Four merry laughs broke the June still ness and Nell looked from one of her friends to another, making a vain effort to understand. Pity they are so few here, sighed a coquettish maiden and Nell understood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
