of Eve and the serpent, and thought Eve's calmness was perfectly noble.
I asked Mr. Barclay if he had ever heard of another woman who, being approached
by a serpent, would not excuse herself and break for the nearest timber. - "Is Shakespeare Dead?" |

| Adam was not alone in the Garden of Eden,

| Wheresoever she was, there was Eden. - "Adam's Diary" After all these years, I see that I was mistaken about Eve in the beginning;

her....I should be sorry to have that voice fall silent and pass out of
my life. Adam and Eve had many advantages, but the principle one was that they
escaped teething. |
