«??when the whole group is together, each brining out all that is best, wisest, or funniest in all the others. Those are the golden sessions?when the whole world, and something beyond the world, opens itself to our minds as we talk; and no one has any claim on or any responsibility for another, but all are freedmen and equals as if we had first met an hour ago, while at the same time an Affection mellowed by the years enfolds us. Life- natural life- has no better gift to give.?»
