men and women; my devotion…1…reading has never made me a
recluse. How could it? Books are …2…the people, by the people.
Literature is the immortal part..3... history; it is the best and most
enduring part of personality. But book-friends have this
advantage…4…living friends; you can enjoy the most truly
aristocratic society…5…the world whenever you want it. The great
dead are beyond our physical reach, and the great living are
usually almost as inaccessible; as for our personal friends and
acquaintance, we cannot always see them. Perchance they are
asleep, or a way ..6… a journey. But in a private library, you can
at any moment converse….7…Socrates or Shakespeare or Carlyle
or Dumas or Dickens or Shaw or Barrie or Galsworthy. And there
is no doubt that in these books you see these men..8… their best.
They wrote for you. They ‘laid themselves out’, they did their
ultimate best..9…entertain you, to make a favorable impression.
You are necessary to them as an audience is to an actor; only
instead of seeing them masked, you look ..10.. their inner most
heart of heart.

My neighbor said she wanted to ask me for a small favor. Little did
I know what was in store for me when I agreed to feed her
cat. After my neighbor left on her trip, I walked across the
street to her house. Once I got inside the house, I was
overwhelmed by the stench of cat urine. I looked around the
house and couldn’t believe what I saw. My eyes fell on two salad
dressing containers sitting on a table beside the couch, which was
completely covered with dirty laundry, except for this one worn
area by the table. The volume on the TV was turned up all the
way. In disbelief and despite my better judgment, I
walked toward the restroom. Around the base of the tub I saw
these red velvety mushrooms coming up between the tub and tile
floor. This filth was beyond anything I’d ever seen in my
life. Within two minutes the cat was fed and I was out of there.
Since she returned from her trip, I have never been available to
watch her cat again.
