CHAPTER I.

Varick street.

     O for one spot of living green,
       One little spot where leaves can grow,—­
     To love unblamed, to walk unseen,
       To dream above, to sleep below!

     Holmes.

     There are in this loud stunning tide,
       Of human care and crime,
     With whom the melodies abide
       Of th’ everlasting chime;

* * * * *

     And to wise hearts this certain hope is given;
     “No mist that man may raise, shall hide the eye of Heaven.”

     Keble.

I never knew exactly how the invitation came; I felt very much honored by it, though I think now, very likely the honor was felt to be upon the other side.  I was exceedingly young, and exceedingly ignorant, not seventeen, and an orphan, living in the house of an uncle, an unmarried man of nearly seventy, wholly absorbed in business, and not much more interested in me than in his clerks and servants.
