An Outing: The Queen of Hearts
Excerpt from An Outing: The Queen of Hearts
It is little pleasure to me simply to look on Nature's handiwork as a show, or study it to find out her secrets in order that I may reveal to others the knowledge I have. Gained. Like a true lover, I am willing to take her as she is; only seeking to be quite alone with her and permitted to ask whatever silly questions I may choose, without fear that any one will doubt my.
