I sat in my chamber while my wife came to me, brought by friends who carried her there against her will. The room was full of noise and laughter, a sharp change from the heavy accounts I had been crushing all day. We drank and talked until the candle burned low, forgetting the tangled sums that threatened to break my brain.

“Hither come my wife and Mercer brought by Mrs. Pierce and Knipp, we were mighty merry and the picture goes on the better for it.”
