During my first years, we had enjoyed what some of our ancestors had toiled for; and my father, after each day's soaring and diving into philosophy and science, walked about our garden in silk stockings, and with a rose in his mouth, - at that time I was a little thing that the rosebushes looked down upon. And I looked up to them, with admiring eyes that often went higher still, and took in the straw-hat that Mr Howard wore of an afternoon: certainly that hat was a miracle for all purposes of shade and adornment.
